Zusammenfassung
"The theory of FEM is presented 'as simply as possible' and illustrated with many examples. ... The book gives the readers the knowledge required when applying powerful FEM software tools in static or dynamic analysis. ... The book is based on the lectures for students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, and is intended for students as well as for structural engineers." (V. Leontiev, zbMATH 1502.74004, 2023)
