    Can you possibly share the whole book for a download? It’s the best straightforward intro I’ve ever come across. (I’m having my first course in FEA)
    Thank you so much for writing this!

      Thank you for your comment, Sandro.
      My apologies, I don’t have a PDF or a document that contains all the info.

    Dear Prof Samer,

    I am a radiographer and I just started my PhD. I am having difficulties as my PhD project is about bone material property and strength by FEA with MRI & CT and I don’t have any basic background about mechanical engineering.

    May I have any advice or suggestions that could help me to understand the FEA very well.

    Kind regards

    Please note, in Sec. 12.1.3.1, in the figure “course mesh” should be “coarse mesh”
