Engineering Design Handbook Computer Aided Design Of Mechanical Systems Part Two

This handbook consists of in-depth treatments of several specific classes of design problems, employing and advancing the theoretical development and initial structural applications of AMCP 706-192. The approach taken is to treat problems that fall in fields such as fail safe structural design, structural dynamics optimization, contact analysis and design, and vehicle suspension design in enough depth that advanced system designers can follow through a relatively realistic design problem. It is hoped that this set of examples also will motivate accelerated application of techniques for mechanical design optimization. Each chapter is self contained, as regards this handbook, but most chapters rely on algorithms and basic results contained in AMCP 706-192.
