This book focuses on numerical simulation-based design theory and methods in mechanical engineering. The simulation-based design of mechanical equipment involves considerable scientific challenges including extremely complex systems, extreme working conditions, multi-source uncertainties, multi-physics coupling, and large-scale computation. In order to overcome these technical difficulties, this book systematically elaborates upon the advanced design methods, covering high-fidelity simulation modeling, rapid structural analysis, multi-objective design optimization, uncertainty analysis and optimization, which can effectively improve the design accuracy, efficiency, multi-functionality and reliability of complicated mechanical structures. This book is primarily intended for researchers, engineers and postgraduate students in mechanical engineering, especially in mechanical design, numerical simulation and engineering optimization. weiterlesen
