Finite Element Analysis By Bhavikatti, S.S. , Principal, Vijayanagar Engineering College, Bellary, Karnataka
New Age International 2005 | 347 Pages | ISBN : 9788122415896; 9788122425246 | PDF | 1.7 MB | english

With the authors experience of teaching the courses on Finite Element Analysis to undergraduate and postgraduate students for several years, the author felt need for writing this book. The concept of finite element analysis, finding properties of various elements and assembling stiffness equation is developed systematically by splitting the subject into various chapters.

The method is made clear by solving many problems by hand calculations. The application of finite element method to plates, shells and nonlinear analysis is presented. After listing some of the commercially available finite element analysis packages, the structure of a finite element program and the desired features of commercial packages are discussed.

About the Author:
Dr. S.S. Bhavikatti studied at BVB College of Engineering and Technology, Hubli for his BE (Civil) degree and graduated from Karnataka University, Dharwad in 1963, sharing first rank with another candidate. The same year he joined Karnataka Regional Engineering College, Surathkal (presently NITK, Surathkal), as a teacher. He secured ME degree in Structural Enineeirng in 1967 from University of Roorkee, Roorkee (presently IIT Roorkee) under Technical Teachers Training Programme and Ph.D. degree in 1977 from IIT Delhi under Quality Improvement Programme. He served at NITK, Surathkal in different capacities like Head of Civil Engineering Department; Chairman Centre for Continuing Education; Chairman, Central Computer Centre and Dean (Administration). From November 2001 to November 2005, he served at SDM College of Engineering, Dharwad. He also served at RYMEC, Bellary as Principal for 1 year 9 months. Presently he is Emeritus Fellow, the Fellowship offered by AICTE, New Delhi and now is serving at BVB College of Engg. and Tech., Hubli. He has published more than 60 technical papers and 17 books. He has guided 62 students for M.Tech. thesis and 5 students for Ph.D. He was a member of organising scientific committees of international seminars organised by IASS held at Taegue (South Korea) in 1990, Tokyo (Japan) in 1993 and Taipei (Taiwan) in 1997. He is also a member of several Indian and international professional bodies.
