Wilson is considered to be one of the early pioneers in the field of finite element analysis and its applications.[5] He is credited with having written the first widely accepted computer package for structural analysis (SAP)[6] and co-authored the widely cited book in FEM, "Numerical Methods in Finite Element Analysis", with Klaus-Jurgen Bathe.[7]
