Introduction to Finite Element Analysis and Design

I previously took a class in Finite Element Analysis with one of the authors of this book as my professor and found it incredibly helpful and straight forward in understanding and applying the subject matter. Now that I have graduated from the university, I had to add this to my personal collection. The book is a perfect learning and reference tool.

Book was delivered in perfect condition

This is a review of the E-Book not the content of the textbook. This text was recommended to my by an instructor, but not required for a class. I was looking for a textbook with solutions I could use for practice.There doesn't appear to be a solutions manual despite the advertised "Comes with a complete solution manual and results of several engineering design projects." I checked the e-book and the appendix. I also followed the associated link to the author's website and again, nothing. There are additional lecture slides, but no solutions manual?Beyond the missing content, I found the E-Book to be exceptionally bare bones. Little is cross-referenced, the images are blown up and grainy. There is something about the lack of formatting that makes this hard to look at. The text is there, but that's about all you get.Overall, not worth $100+ when similar texts are available for half the cost, and include solutions for odd problems.

Book was not as described. The book has extensive damage and tears to the cover on arrival. There is signs of wear and tear on the book overall as well.
