It is thirty-eight years since the The Finite Element Method in Structural and ContinuumMechanics was first published. This book, which was the first dealing with the finiteelement method, provided the basis from which many further developments occurred. Theexpanding research and field of application of finite elements led to the second edition in1971, the third in 1977, the fourth as two volumes in 1989 and 1991 and the fifth as threevolumes in 2000. The size of each of these editions expanded g~ometdcally, （from 272pages in 1967 to the fifth edition of 1482 pages）. This was necessary to do justice to arapidly expanding field of professional application and research. Even so, much filteringof the contents was necessary to keep these editions within reasonable bounds. In the present edition we have decided not to pursue the course of having three contiguousvolumes but rather we treat the whole work as an assembly of three separate works, eachone capable of being used without the others and each one appealing perhaps to a differentaudience. Though naturally we recommend the use of the whole ensemble to people wishingto devote much of their time and study to the finite element method. In particular the first volume which was entitled The Finite Element Method: The Basisis now renamed The Finite Element Method: Its Basis and Fundamentals. This volume'has been considerably reorganized from the previous one and is now, we believe, bettersuited for teaching fundamentals of the finite element method. The sequence of chaptershas been somewhat altered and several examples of worked problems have been added tothe text. A set of problems to be worked out by students has also been provided.
