Cover of Approximate Solution Methods in Engineering Mechanics
The only complete collection of prevalent approximation methods Unlike any other resource, Approximate Solution Methods in Engineering Mechanics, Second Edition offers in-depth coverage of the most common approximate numerical methods used in the solution of physical problems, including those used in popular computer modeling packages. Descriptions of each approximation method are presented with the latest relevant research and developments, providing thorough, working knowledge of the methods and their principles. Approximation methods covered include: Boundary element method (BEM) Weighted residuals method Finite difference method (FDM) Finite element method (FEM) Finite strip/layer/prism methods Meshless method Approximate Solution Methods in Engineering Mechanics, Second Edition is a valuable reference guide for mechanical, aerospace, and civil engineers, as well as students in these disciplines.

Cover of Modeling and Simulation Based Life-Cycle Engineering

Advances in computational power have facilitated the development of simulations unprecedented in their computational size, scope of technical issues, spatial and temporal resolution, complexity and comprehensiveness. As a result, complex structures from airplanes to bridges can be almost completely based on model-based simulations.
This book gives a state-of-the-art account of modeling and simulation of the life cycle of engineered systems, covering topics of design, fabrication, maintenance and disposal.
Providing comprehensive coverage of this rapidly emerging field, Modeling and Simulation-Based Life Cycle Engineering is essential reading for civil, mechanical and manufacturing engineers. It will also appeal to students and academics in this area.
