Simulation-Based Mechanical Design

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.

List of contents

Introduction to mechanical design.- Introduction to Finite Element Method (FEM) theory.- FEA simulation on components.- FEA simulation on Assemblies.
