Using Finite Elements in Mechanical Design - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Using Finite Elements in Mechanical Design takes a unique look at the practicalities of modelling and designing with commercial software. For ease of use, a step-by-step approach is adopted to describe the analysis process, with a series of test cases and real engineering problems used as illustrations.
Commercial software is increasingly used to demonstrate the application of finite element theory and this book reflects this approach. Topics examined include the historical development of finite element theory, structural mechanics and the development of finite element characteristics, the analysis process for design, building the geometry description and finite element mesh, as well as obtaining and analysing results.
Aimed at anyone new to using software for mechanical or structural design, this book is ideal for students taking courses in design and analysis using finite elements. It will prove invaluable to undergraduates and some postgraduates on mechanical, civil, manufacturing, aeronautical and general engineering courses, and those working as stress analysts in industry.
