Introduction to Static Analysis Using SolidWorks Simulation

by Radostina V. Petrova

Overview

Uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as Implemented in SolidWorks SimulationOutlining a path that readers can follow to ensure a static analysis that is both accurate and sound, Introduction to Static Analysis using SolidWorks Simulation effectively applies one of the most widely used software packages for engineering design to the concepts of static

About the Author

Radostina Petrova was awarded a PhD degree in applied mechanics by the Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria. Since 2007, she has been an associate professor in dynamics, strength and reliability of machines, devices and systems at the Technical University of Sofia. Her research interests and fields of expertise include multi-body dynamic simulation of mechanical systems; nonlinear structural analysis; structural modelling and analysis using FEM; simulation-based, design optimization of mechanical systems; CAD/CAE (FEA) design of structures and mechanical systems, particularly dynamic analysis and simulations; structural engineering; wind engineering; fluid-structure interaction; exposure of slender structures (aerial ropeways, wind turbines, etc.) to random dynamic excitation; and interaction and combination of different software platforms/data for solving different structural problems.

Editorial Reviews

"The contents seem to be quite logical and appropriate for this book: After explaining the theory, special examples with increasing complexity are worked out in detail."
—Alois Steindl, Vienna University of Technology, Austria
