Product Description: One of the main concerns in building advanced machinery is the design of machine components. The only way to ensure that criteria for life expectancy and stress limits are met is to base the design on precise analysis. Advanced Design of Machine Elements presents selected complex design problems, such as fatigue problems caused by varying loads and problems with nonlinear materials and geometric properties including contact...read more

Product Description: Modern machine design challenges engineers with a myriad of nonlinear problems, among them fatigue, friction, plasticity, and excessive deformation. Today's advanced numerical computer programs bring optimal solutions to these complex problems within reach, but not without a trained and experienced overseer...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
