Synopsis

This book establishes a modern practical approach to mechanical design. It introduces a full set of mechanical design theories and approaches to conduct and complete mechanical design tasks. The book uses Finite-Element Analysis (FEA) as a mechanical engineering tool to calculate stress/strain and then integrate it  with failure theory to complete the mechanical design. FEA simulation always evaluates the stress and strain of any component/assembly no matter whether components/assemblies have complicated geometries and/or are under complicated loading conditions.

From the Back Cover

This book establishes a modern practical approach to mechanical design. It introduces a full set of mechanical design theories and approaches to conduct and complete mechanical design tasks. The book uses Finite-Element Analysis (FEA) as a mechanical engineering tool to calculate stress/strain and then integrate it  with failure theory to complete the mechanical design. FEA simulation always evaluates the stress and strain of any component/assembly no matter whether components/assemblies have complicated geometries and/or are under complicated loading conditions.

In addition, this book:

• Provides a modern practical approach to conducting mechanical design
• Establishes the best use of visualization tools of FEA (finite element analysis) theory
• Covers broad aspects of mechanical design including static stress design, thermal stress design, fatigue design, and optimization design
