Stiffness and Damping I in Mechanical Design

Аннотация

Computers are becoming more and more powerful tools for assisting in the design process. Finite element analysis and other software packages constituting computer-aided design (CAD) allow quick and realistic visualization and optimization of stresses and deformations inside the component of a structure. This computer technology frees designers from tedious drafting and computational chores: it not only allows them to concentrate on general, conceptual issues of design, but also forces them to do so.
