FE Text For Begginers
(OP)
I would like to find a book that does a good job teaching the basics of FE analysis as I did not have a course in this for undergrad. Can anyone recommend a book that is easy enough to read and hopefully have some worked examples?

If you can wade through all of the variational calculus I would recommend "An Introduction to the Finite Element Method" by J. N. Reddy.

I've also found that "Finite Element Analysis For Design Engineers" by Paul M. Kurowski is another good one, though it is definitely more intensive than MacDonalds.

NAFEMS is a non profit organization that does training, support and benchmarking for the FEA industry.
Their books are not aligned to any particular software, and the information is accurate and easy to use.
