Modeling and Simulation for Material Selection and Mechanical Design

Download or read book Modeling and Simulation for Material Selection and Mechanical Design written by George E. Totten and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-12-02 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. With contributions from internationally recognized experts in the field, it enables researchers to enhance engineering processes and reduce production costs in materials and component development.
