Tirupathi R. Chandrupatla has been a Professor and Founding Chair of Mechanical Engineering at Rowan University, New Jersey since 1995. He received his B.E. from National Institute of Technology, Warangal, his M.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and his Ph.D. from University of Texas, Austin. He started his career as a design engineer with Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT), Bangalore and then taught at IIT. Professor Chandrupatla also taught at the University of Kentucky and Kettering University, before joining Rowan. In 2005, he received the Lindback Distinguished Teaching Award at Rowan University. He is also the author of Quality and Reliability in Engineering (Cambridge, 2009), and Introduction to Finite Elements in Engineering (2012). Professor Chandrupatla has broad research interests, which include design, optimization, manufacturing engineering, finite element analysis, and quality and reliability. He published widely in these areas and serves as a consultant to industry. Professor Chandrupatla is a registered Professional Engineer and also a Certified Manufacturing Engineer. Ashok D. Belegundu has been a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University since 1986. Prior to this, he taught at Kettering University, Michigan. He received his B. Tech. from IIT. Madras and his Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. He has been a principal investigator on research projects involving optimization for several agencies including the National Science Foundation, Army Research Office, NASA, SERC (UK), MacNeal-Schwendler Corporation, Gentex Corporation, and Ingersoll-Rand. He has organized two international conferences on optimization in industry and has authored or edited four books and written a chapter in a book. He has advised more than fifty graduate students. He has given short courses on finite elements and optimization to the Forging Industry Association, Hazleton Pumps, Infosys (India). He has served as an associate editor for AIAA Journal and for Mechanics Based Design of Structures and Machines.
'A significantly upgraded edition of a classic textbook in the field. The book covers all essential engineering topics and mathematical procedures for the finite element formulations and numerical implementations. It provides a wealth of examples and end-of-chapter problems. The content of each chapter is presented in a clear, concise, and easy-to-grasp style that makes it an excellent choice as textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses on the topic. Its usefulness is also enhanced by its inclusion of codes in several popular programming languages.' Professor Gabriel Potirniche, University of Idaho 'The fifth edition of this internationally acclaimed textbook on finite element analysis enables students, educators, and practicing engineers to solve finite element problems from first principles. The textbook presents a comprehensive holistic approach to finite element analysis. The book brings theory to life with hundreds of practical examples. The fifth edition includes cutting-edge new information on the energy and the Galerkin methods.' Professor Paul Akangah, North Carolina A&T State University 'The new edition (of the book) is carefully structured to provide the necessary theoretical background to easily understand and to adapt the same to model and to solve 1D, 2D, and 3D mechanical engineering problems in the structural and thermal areas.' Professor Raghu Echempati, Kettering University
