Books Name: An Introduction to the Finite Element Method (Mcgraw Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering)
Author: J.N. Reddy
J.N. Reddy is a very good writer and teacher at Texas A& M University,Department of Mechanical Engineering. It is well known that to analyse any linear problems are the best suited method. This third edition represents the most used and analysed method to solve the linear problems by the help of finite element analysis. Third edition also included FEM 1D and FEM 2D which is a major part of this edition.
