FINITE ELEMENT METHOD Fundamentals and Applications in Structural Mechanics

Finite Element Method (SEM); bar, cable, membrane, plate, shell and solid structural systems are explained through applied examination examples. The author's education, training and analysis software for each chapter can be accessed from the QR code. The main dependencies of the SEM are given mainly on the basis of the Lagrangian variation principle, and the establishment of the stiffness matrices is done by the direct stiffnesses method. Analysis features with Boundary Value Method (SDM), SEM-SDM connection are given, and symbolic software is presented for the details of setting up stiffness matrices. Modern interactive methods have been applied to digitize systems with finite elements. The detailed details of the entire sequence and software implementation of the SEM investigation are presented with various examples. Book; students, designers, researchers and professionals in earthquake engineering.
