INTRODUCTION TO FINITE ELEMENTS IN ENGINEERING (Third Edition) Tirupathi R. Chandrupatla Ashok D.

Belegundu Text ISBN: 0-13-061591-9 CD t/a Text ISBN: 0-13-008844-7 This disk (CD) includes finite element programs. There are seven directories on the CD. Directories \QBASIC \FORTRAN \C \VB \EXCELVB \MATLAB Source codes in QuickBasic Fortran source codes Source codes in ANSI C Source codes in Visual Basic Programs in Microsoft Excel VBA Source codes in MATLAB

\EXAMPLES - This directory has input data files. There is a data file for each program. Same input data file works for C, Fortran, Matlab, QuickBasic, and VB. Excel has its own input in the spreadsheet. *** Copy the Programs from this CD onto your hard disk (writable disk) and t hen run programs from the hard disk The program source codes are in text format. The programs can be run on any PC or Workstation that has the compiler or interpreter for any of the above programming environments. Most of the programs are transportable among Windows, Unix systems, IBM compatible PCs, Apple/Mac computers and Workstations where the compilers are available. COMMENTS Visual Basic Programs - Each Visual Basic project consists of three files. The files have same name with extensions .vbp, .vbw, .frm - The .frm file has the form information and the source code - Make sure that all three files are in your directory while loading into Visual Basic C Programs - All C programs were compiled and tested using ANSI C - Dynamic memory allocation is used in declaring the arrays FORTRAN - Array dimensions have been fixed at some values to enable solution of small problems - Look carefully at the array dimensions and match them in the subroutines while attemting larger problems EXCEL - Excel programs use the VBA (VB Application) environment - The Excel programs have been developed on Microsoft Excel 2000 QBASIC - Quick Basic programs can be run using the QBASIC interpreter (QBASIC.EXE) provided on DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95 environments or QuickBasic interpreter/compiler MATLAB - Make sure that Bansol.m file is in the working directory

MAIN VARIABLES All programs use the variables defined below: NN ----NE ----NM ----NDIM --NEN ---NDN ---ND ----NL ----NPR ---NMPC --Number of Nodes Number of Elements Number of Different Materials Number of Coordinates per Node (e.g. NDIM = 2 for Two dimensional problems) Number of Nodes per Element (e.g. NEN = 3 for CST Elem) Number of Degrees of Freedom per Node (e.g. NDN = 2 for BEAM) Number of Specified Displacement Degrees of Freedom(DOF) Number of Applied Component Loads (Along DOF directions) Number of Material Properties (e.g. E, nu, alpha) Number of MultiPoint Constraints (of the type B1*Qi+B2*Qj=B3)

The variables are also given inside the book cover. We encourage you to provide your feedback on the use of this book and the programs. Dr. T.R. Chandrupatla P.E. College of Engineering Rowan University Dr. A.D. Belegundu Mechanical Engineering The Pennsylvania State University
