The finite element method has now gained acceptance amongst engineers as a powerful numerical technique for solving an extremely wide range of problems. This book provides a basic introduction to its application in structural engineering, for students and practising engineers who are approaching the finite element method for the first time. Since the first edition was published, the pace of development of the finite element method has necessitated a new chapter to enable the reader to appreciate its current capabilities. New references and a revised bibliography have also been provided.
