Nonlinear Problems in Machine Design

by Eliahu Zahavi, David M. Barlam

Overview

Modern machine design challenges engineers with a myriad of nonlinear problems, among them fatigue, friction, plasticity, and excessive deformation. Today's advanced numerical computer programs bring optimal solutions to these complex problems within reach, but not without a trained and experienced overseer. Nonlinear Problems in Machine Des

Editorial Reviews

Modern machine design challenges engineers with a myriad of nonlinear problems such as fatigue, friction, plasticity, and extensive deformation. This book is a manual to help teach engineers the concepts necessary for effectively using available numerical computer programs to bring optimal solutions for these problems, and includes examples using ANSYS and MSC.NASTRAN which demonstrate the reliability of the results. The material reflects the advances of the finite element method and expands the theoretical scope of its application with a balanced focus on theoretical analysis and the practical process of problem solving.
