FEA basic book
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I am from the previous generaion of engineers, prior to the FEA widely usage.I intend to study (by myself) this subject, and I wish to get your proffessional recommendations/tips for basic books that I can study from (basic principles, easy to understand, includes examples & exercises, makes me able to apply the method on simple problems without the need of heavy softwares, not making me superstar in that field (yet...)
Please, keep in your mind that I am about 25 years after graduated, while you recommend something to study..
Thanks,
Guideon

What sorts of problems do you want to solve (in general and also some specific examples)? In what way do you hope FEM will improve what you have been doing for 25 years. This will give a better idea of what a good direction might be.

Sounds more theoretical than the other book recommended, but I find it reasonably easy to understand.

However, the best book for your level in starting out with FEA, and matching the criteria you mention above in my humble is "A First Course in the Finite Element Method" by Daryl Logan 4th edition (2011).
Check it out.
