      Abstract:

      The Finite Element Method (FEM) is introduced in this chapter Hutton (2004). Scientific research on the FEM began after the Second World War and was partially supported by the American aerospace industry. The name appeared for the first time in the paper by Clough (1960). The Engineering community immediately understood the power of the new method. The structural engineers made a great contribution to its development. Expressions such as stiffness matrix, load vector, and others initially introduced for applications in Structural Mechanics, are used today for FEM applications in different scientific fields Fenner (2005). Matlab applications are presented in this book by Kwon and Bang (2000)…
