4/18/08 Errors in Concepts and Applications of Finite Element Analysis, 4th edition, 2002. By R.D. Cook, D.S.

Malkus, M.E. Plesha and R.W. Witt Remark: Some of these errors have been corrected in the later printings of this book. In particular, a check indicates the error has been corrected in the 5th and subsequent printings. Page 72: In Problem 2.10-2, replace L T by E T Page 107: Eq. 3.10-2 should be

um 1 ui 1 u j j i y j y i = + + 8 xi x j m 2 i 2 j
Page 125: In Problem 3.2-2, replace Ni = 0 by Ni = 1
the sentence before Eq. 4.10-11, the first component of {} should be , not Page 168: In x z

Page 315: In Eq. 9.7-1, the subscripts on should be rather than

the first matrix of Eq. 11.9-12, the vertical dashed line should be positioned as Page 403: In follows

Page 411: Eq. 11.12-10 should be

Page 450: In the third line of Problem 11.14-1(b), the expression should be

Z n +1 = Z n + 1 2 t ( Z n +1 + Z n )

Page 685: In Ref. 4.13, the authors should be J. Jirousek and A. Wrblewski

Submitted by A. Palazzolo: Page 72: In Problem 2.10-2, L T should be E T Solution Manual: in Problem 2.5-3, 6/b2 should be +6/b2 Authors note in response to communication from K. Bell: Work done by loads applied to element nodes should be included in Eq. 3.3-1. According to the sign convention noted following Eq. 2.2-2, these loads are {r}. Therefore the right hand side of Eq. 3.3-1 should include the term {d}T{r}. The remaining development yields, instead of Eq. 3.3-6, the equation [k]{d} = {re} {r}. Thus {r} = {re} when {d} = {0}.
