Three-Dimensional
Solid Analysis
Determination of stresses in a three-dimensional elastic
solid is difficult in the past even when its shape is uncomplicated.
This is because their solutions must be solved from the three
coupled partial differential equations. The finite element method
helps finding these solutions effectively. This chapter begins with
the governing differential equations of the three-dimensional elastic
solid and the related equations. The finite element equations are
presented and different finite element types are highlighted.
ANSYS software through its Workbench is then employed to
analyze simple and application problems.
