PREFACE
This solution manual is prepared to aid the instructor in discussing the solutions
to assigned problems in Chapters 1 through 14 from the book, An Introduction to
the Finite Element Method, Third Edition, McGraw—Hill, New York, 2006. Computer
solutions to certain problems of Chapter 8 (see Chapter 13 problems) are also included
at the end of Chapter 8.
The instructor should make an effort to review the problems before assigning them.
This allows the instructor to make comments and suggestions on the approach to be
taken and nature of the answers expected. The instructor may wish to generate
additional problems from those given in this book, especially when taught time
and again from the same book. Suggestions for new problems are also included
at pertinent places in this manual. Additional examples and problems can be found
in the following books of the author:
1. J. N. Reddy and M. L. Rasmussen, Advanced Engineering Analysis, John Wiley, New York, 1982;
reprinted and marketed currently by Krieger Publishing Company, Melbourne, Florida, 1990 (see
Section 3.6).
2. J. N. Reddy, Energy and Variational Methods in Applied Mechanics, John Wiley, New York, 1984
(see Chapters 2 and 3).

Press, Second Edition, Boca Raton, FL, 2004.
7. J. N. Reddy, An Introduction to Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis, Oxford University Press,
Oxford, UK, 2004.
The computer problems FEM1D and FEM2D can be readily modified to solve
new types of field problems. The programs can be easily extended to finite element
models formulated in an advanced course and/or in research. The Fortran sources of
FEM1D and FEM2D are available from the author for a price of $200.
The author appreciates receiving comments on the book and a list of errors found
in the book and this solutions manual.
