Numerical solutions to even very complicated stressproblems can now be obtained routinely using FEA, and the method is so important that evenintroductory treatments of Mechanics of Materials { such as these modules { should outline itsprincipal spite of thegreat power of FEA, the disadvantages of computer solutions must bekept inmind when using this and similar methods.}}
