Introduction to Finite Element Analysis and Design, 3rd Edition

by N. H. Kim, B. V. Sankar, and A. V. Kumar

The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a powerful tool for solving engineering problems both in solid structural mechanics and fluid mechanics. This book presents all of the theoretical aspects of FEM that students of engineering will need. It eliminates overlong math equations in favour of basic concepts, and reviews the mathematics and mechanics of materials in order to illustrate the concepts of FEM. It introduces these concepts by including examples using six different commercial programs online. The all-new, second edition of Introduction to Finite Element Analysis and Design provides many more exercise problems than the first edition. It includes a significant amount of material in modelling issues by using several practical examples from engineering applications. The book features new coverage of buckling of beams and frames and extends heat transfer analyses from 1D (in the previous edition) to 2D. It also covers 3D solid element and its application, as well as 2D. Additionally, readers will find an increase in coverage of finite element analysis of dynamic problems. There is also a companion website with examples that are concurrent with the most recent version of the commercial programs. Click to book webpage Book in amazon.com or Barns and Noble

Prognostics and Health Management of Engineering Systems: An Introduction

by Nam-Ho Kim, Dawn An and Joo-Ho Choi

This book introduces the methods for predicting the future behavior of a system’s health and the remaining useful life to determine an appropriate maintenance schedule. The authors introduce the history, industrial applications, algorithms, and benefits and challenges of PHM (Prognostics and Health Management) to help readers understand this highly interdisciplinary engineering approach that incorporates sensing technologies, physics of failure, machine learning, modern statistics, and reliability engineering. It is ideal for beginners because it introduces various prognostics algorithms and explains their attributes, pros and cons in terms of model definition, model parameter estimation, and ability to handle noise and bias in data, allowing readers to select the appropriate methods for their fields of application.

Introduction to Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis

by N. H. Kim

The objective of this textbook is to simply introduce the nonlinear finite element analysis procedure and to clearly explain the solution procedure to the reader. In contrast to the traditional textbooks which treat a vast amount of nonlinear theories comprehensively; this textbook only addresses the representative problems, detailed theories, solution procedures, and the computer implementation of the nonlinear FEM. Especially by using the MATLAB programming language to introduce the nonlinear solution procedure; those readers who are not familiar with FORTRAN or C++ programming languages can easily understand and add his/her own modules to the nonlinear analysis program.

Geometry of Design: A Workbook

by N. H. Kim, A. V. Kumar, and H. F. Snider

Engineering drawing is the "instrument of communication" upon which the designer must place all information necessary to define a new product. The computer-aided design (CAD) courses often involve teaching solid modelling software. We view CAD as an engineering communication tool for manufacturing. As the technology of engineering design is in transition from paper drawings to solid models, its education must address the challenge of covering both technologies. The first objective of this workbook is to integrate the drafting technology based on experience with engineering design education. The second objective of this textbook is to recognize that the CAD course should focus on design and manufacturing issues rather than the usage of computer software. This workbook has evolved from the course “Computer-Aided Graphics and Design” at the University of Florida. Many pages of this textbook can be used for student assignments. In order to help students to familiarize themselves with the manufacturing field experience, most assignments are to be submitted in the form of complete working drawings of the parts and assembly.

Introduction to Finite Element Analysis and Design

by N. H. Kim and B. V. Sankar

Finite Element Method (FEM) is one of the numerical methods of solving differential equations that describe many engineering problems. This new book covers the basic theory of FEM and includes appendices on each of the main FEA programs as reference. It introduces the concepts so that engineers can use the method efficiently and interpret the results properly. They'll learn about one-dimensional finite elements, including truss and beam elements, as well as two and three dimensional finite elements. Numerous examples are also included using ANSYS, NASTRAN, Pro/Engineer, and MATLAB Toolbox. This approach will help engineers develop a thorough understanding of the theory behind FEM as well as its application. Click to book webpage Book in amazon.com or Barns and Noble

Structural Sensitivity Analysis and Optimization I: Linear Systems

by K. K. Choi and N. H. Kim

Structural design sensitivity analysis concerns the relationship between design variables available to the design engineer and structural responses determined by the laws of mechanics. The dependence of response measures such as displacement, stress, strain, natural frequency, buckling load, acoustic response, frequency response, noise-vibration-harshness (NVH), thermoelastic response, and fatigue life on the material property, sizing, component shape, and configuration design variables is defined through the energy principles (governing equations) of structural mechanics. In this 2-volume set, first- and second- order design sensitivity analyses are presented for static and dynamics responses of both linear and nonlinear elastic structural systems, including elasto-plastic and frictional contact problems. Book I Linear Systems introduces structural design concepts that include the CAD-based design model, design parameterization, performance measures, costs, and constraints. It also discusses design sensitivity analysis of linear structural systems, and discrete and continuum design sensitivity analysis methods. Review by Martin P.

Book 2, Nonlinear Systems and Applications, covers design sensitivity analysis of nonlinear structural systems using continuum design sensitivity analysis methods. It also discusses practical design tools and applications; sizing and shape design parameterization, design velocity field computation, numerical implementation of the sensitivity for general-purpose code development, and various other practical design applications.
