Nonlinear Problems in Machine Design

Nonlinear Problems in Machine Design provides training and experience with the modern analytical methods of machine design and enables readers to use those methods in daily applications. The authors first build the theoretical foundation, then focus on the application of the finite element method to machine design problems. They offer practical examples with solutions generated using both the ANSYS and MSC.NASTRAN programs to demonstrate the reliability of the results, offering readers experience with the two most widely used programs in industry. Unique in focus, this book will prove valuable to students and practitioners and appears destined to become a standard in its field.
