In the field of engineering, the ability to analyze and design reliable structures is essential for civil, mechanical, and industrial engineers. The Finite Element Method (FEM) has become an indispensable tool for modeling and solving complex problems related to static structural analysis. This book, titled "Static Structural Analysis Using Finite Elements with Exercises, Projects, and MATLAB Programming," is designed for engineering students who wish to master this fundamental method. This is a course support that was produced as part of the finite element course for the calculation of structures in 4ᵉ year at the National School of Applied Sciences in Oujda ENSAO. The aim of this course is to introduce the basic concepts of the finite element method and their interpretation and applications in the field of calculating civil engineering structures (cable, bar, beam and plate elements).
The primary goal of this book is to provide a deep understanding of the theoretical concepts of FEM, while offering practical applications through exercises and real-world projects. MATLAB programming is integrated throughout the book, enabling readers to develop coding skills and enhance their ability to implement efficient numerical solutions.
The corrected exercises and projects presented in this book cover a variety of practical cases encountered in civil, mechanical, and industrial engineering. Each project is accompanied by a detailed explanation, guiding the reader through the steps of modeling, analysis, and interpretation of results. This pedagogical approach aims to build students' confidence in applying FEM to real-world situations.
This book aspires to be a valuable resource for future engineers through the combination of theory and practice, helping engineering students to develop the skills necessary to tackle tomorrow's technical challenges.
