One-Dimensional Finite Elements An Introduction to the FE Method

From the reviews:

"As its title describes, this book is about the finite element method applied to one-dimensional problems. ... several problems of interest are indeed modeled using a single space variable. This book should appeal to the mechanical engineering community." (Alexandre L. Madureira, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2014)
"This book is an excellent addition to course resources on finite elements. ... Each chapter includes worked examples and a few exercise problems. Short answers for the exercises, provided at the end of the book, will be helpful to students. A valuable course resource for students in mechanical, civil, aerospace, and other engineering curricula and a useful acquisition for academic libraries. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, practicing engineers." (R. Kolar, Choice, Vol. 51 (1), September, 2013)
