Overview

The sixth edition of these seminal books delivers the most up to date and comprehensive reference yet on the finite element method for all engineers and mathematicians. Renowned for their scope, range and authority, the new editions have been significantly developed in terms of both contents and scope. Each book is now complete in its own right and provides self-contained reference; used together they provide a formidable resource covering the theory and the application of the universally used FEM. In the years since the fifth edition was published, active research has continued to develop the Finite Element Method as the pre-eminent tool for the modelling of physical systems. Written by the leading professors in their fields, these new edition of the Finite Element Method maintains the comprehensive style of the earlier editions incorporate the latest developments in this dynamic subject. The three books cover the basis of the method, its application to solid mechanics and to fluid dynamics.

It is very difficult to write a book which covers the entire finite element field. ..The authors have made a splendid attempt at a very difficult task. The books remain a tremendous bargain...and are an invaluable guide to the entire field of finite elements. If you are serious about working on finite elements you cannot do without this book. - Mathematics Today, August 2001. ...the publication of the first edition was an epoch making event...it is written by...the greatest theorist of the subject. If you are serious about finite elements, this is a book that you simply cannot afford to be without. - International Journal of Numerical Methods in Engineering. ..the pre-eminent reference work on finite element analysis. - Applied Mechanical Review ...a very good book...presentation is first class...will be of great assistance to all engineers and scientists interested in the method...a very commendable piece of work. - Journal of the British Society for Strain Measurement

Author Information

O. C. Zienkiewicz was one of the early pioneers of the finite element method and is internationally recognized as a leading figure in its development and wide-ranging application. He was awarded numerous honorary degrees, medals and awards over his career, including the Royal Medal of the Royal Society and Commander of the British Empire (CBE). He was a founding author of The Finite Element Method books and developed them through six editions over 40 years up to his death in 2009. Previous positions held by O.C. Zienkiewicz include UNESCO Professor of Numerical Methods in Engineering at the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Barcelona, Director of the Institute for Numerical Methods in Engineering at the University of Wales, Swansea, U.K. R.L Taylor is a Professor of the Graduate School at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, USA. Awarded the Daniel C. Drucker Medal by the American Society of Mechanical Engineering in 2005, the Gauss-Newton Award and Congress Medal by the International Association for Computational Mechanics in 2002, and the Von Neumann Medal by the US Association for Computational Mechanics in 1999. Professor Nithiarasu is Director of Research and Deputy Head of the College of Engineering of Swansea University, and also holds a position as Dean of Academic Leadership (Research Impact). Previously, PN served as the Head of Zienkewicz Centre for Computational Engineering for 5 years. He was awarded the Zienkiewicz silver medal from the ICE London in 2002, the ECCOMAS Young Investigator award in 2004 and the prestigious EPSRC Advanced Fellowship in 2006.
