Description
Taylor & Francis Ltd Modeling And Simulation For Material Selection And Mechanical Design 2003 Edition by George E. Totten, Lin XIE, Kiyoshi Funatani
This reference describes advanced computer modeling and simulation procedures to predict material properties and component design including mechanical properties, microstructural evolution, and materials behavior and performance. The book illustrates the most effective modeling and simulation technologies relating to surface-engineered compounds, fastener design, quenching and tempering during heat treatment, and residual stresses and distortion during forging, casting, and heat treatment. Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, it enables researchers to enhance engineering processes and reduce production costs in materials and component development. 1 SYSTEMS AND MODELS 1.1 Tasks of Model Construction and Simulation 1.2 Dynamic Models and Model Development 1.3 Fundamental Properties of Systems 1.4 Fundamental Properties of Models 2 STRUCTURE 2.1 Developing the Influence Diagram 2.2 Differentiation of the Model Concept 2.3 Simulation and Model Behavior 2.4 Summary of Important Results 1 SYSTEM STATE 3.1 System Elements and Basic System Structure 3.2 System State and State Computation 3.3 Some Elementary Systems and Their Behavior 3.4 Dimensional Analysis 3.5 Model Development for the Rotating Pendulum 3.6 Model Development for a Fishing System 3.7 Nondimensional Model Equations and System Similarity 3.8 Summary of Important Results 4 BEHAVIOR 4.1 Simulator for a Standard Programming Language: S1MPAS 4.2 Simulation of Rotating Pendulum Dynamics Using SIMPAS 4.3 Simulation of Fishery Dynamics with SIMPAS 4.4 Graphic-interactive Simulation Environment: STELLA 4.5 Summary of Important Results CHOICE AND DESIGN 5.1 Criteria and Evaluation of System Behavior 5.2 Path Analysis 5.3 Policy Analysis 5.4 System Design 5.5 Summary of Important Results SYSTEMS ZOO 6.1 Dynamic Systems with One State Variable 6.2 Dynamic Systems with Two State Variables 7.2 Matrix Operations for Linear Dynamic Systems 7.3 Behavior and Stability of Linear Systems in Unforced Motion 7.4 Behavior of Linear Systems in Forced Motion 7.5 Behavior and Stability of Non-linear Dynamic Systems 7.6 Summary of Important Results
