Modeling and Simulation Based Life-Cycle Engineering - 9780367396367

CRC Press

This book gives a state-of-the-art account of modeling and simulation of the life cycle of engineered systems. It will be essential reading for civil, mechanical and manufacturing engineers as well as students and academics in this area. > \nAdvances in computational power have facilitated the development of simulations unprecedented in their computational size, scope of technical issues, spatial and temporal resolution, complexity and comprehensiveness. As a result, complex structures from airplanes to bridges can be almost completely based on model-based simulations. \nThis book gives a state-of-the-art account of modeling and simulation of the life cycle of engineered systems, covering topics of design, fabrication, maintenance and disposal. \nProviding comprehensive coverage of this rapidly emerging field, Modeling and Simulation-Based Life Cycle Engineering is essential reading for civil, mechanical and manufacturing engineers. It will also appeal to students and academics inn
