Request a sales quoteThis is one book of a four-part series, which aims to integrate discussion of modern engineering design principles, advanced design tools, and industrial design practices throughout the design process. Through this series, the reader will:
Understand basic design principles and modern engineering design paradigms.
Understand CAD/CAE/CAM tools available for various design related tasks.
Understand how to put an integrated system together to conduct product design using the paradigms and tools.
Understand industrial practices in employing virtual engineering design and tools for product development.
- Provides a comprehensive and thorough coverage on essential elements for product performance evaluation using the virtual engineering paradigms
- Covers CAD/CAE in Structural Analysis using FEM, Motion Analysis of Mechanical Systems, Fatigue and Fracture Analysis
- Each chapter includes both analytical methods and computer-aided design methods, reflecting the use of modern computational tools in engineering design and practice
- A case study and tutorial example at the end of each chapter provide hands-on practice in implementing off-the-shelf computer design tools
- Provides two projects at the end of the book showing the use of Pro/ENGINEER® and SolidWorks ® to implement concepts discussed in the book
Mechanical, Aerospace, and Industrial Engineers studying design. Engineers interested in learning computer design tools such as ProEngineer and SolidWorks in the context of the design process. Senior and first-year graduate engineering students in Mechanical, Aerospace, Industrial, and Materials Engineering
