Books that are a must read if you perform FEA Analysis or CFD

Hello, I've decided to give you a few links to some very useful Finite Element and CFD books. It's always a good idea to read the theory and try to understand it. Most of this books have basic knowledge and can give you the know-how if you read them carefully.

• Introduction to the Finite Element Method, Evgeny Barkanov Link to PDF

• Finite Element Procedures for Solids and Structures - Linear Analysis Link to PDF

• Finite Element Analysis of Structures, Ivan Nemec Link to PDF

• A Gentle Introduction to the Finite Element Method, Francisco–Javier Sayas Link to PDF

• The FEMCI Book (NASA) - Large Database of articles Link to Website

• An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics (Finite Volume Method), H.K. Versteeg Link to PDF

• An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics, Dimitri Kuzmin Link to Presentation

• Introduction to Computational Fluid Dyamics, Anil W. Date Link to PDF

Of course, after you get the basics, you could go deeper and read something more specific, because you will be able to find stuff you are interested more easy, by knowing what to search.

I remember my teacher told us at a lecture, that in FEA the most important role is the Engineer (the operator), because the all software have aproximately the same capabilities.

I will write and present you facts while using ANSYS Workbench 16.2. This is the software I use, including the modules: Static Structural, Modal, Harmonic Response and CFX Flow.

All the best, Dan.
