Hello, Dr Sean! Could you share a list of literature that would be helpful for studying fem? What books did you use for your studies?
Hey @aa_gavrilov,
It’s difficult to pinpoint one text - TBH, I’ve developed my understanding of the topic by dipping into many different textbooks over the years. Having said that, one I always recommend to people is ‘Matrix Structural Analysis’ by McGuire, Gallagher and Ziemian.
It’s probably one of the most comprehensive and digestible resources on my shelf…particularly for the price. I’ve been disappointed by so many (much higher price) textbooks that I’ve ordered out of curiosity. Many seem to be needlessly obtuse and tend to obfuscate the topic. The one I reference above it’s a pleasure to read by contrast.
Hope that helps.

Hi Dr. Sean, at minute 24:29, doesn’t B, y^2 and Ue replace epsilon? In the lecture notes you wrote epsilon^T
