Mechanical Simulation

The demand placed on today’s engineers goes above and beyond the job description. Products have become complex and engineers are more frequently asked to leave specialized roles and to take on a wide variety of tasks that are beyond their traditional responsibilities. These tasks are centered on form, fit, and function.

This book presents innovative strategies and cutting-edge research at the intersection of mechanical engineering and simulation technologies. Aimed at addressing the current challenges and limitations in mechanical design, this book presents an array of advanced methodologies and tools that promise to revolutionize the field. From integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning for design optimization to leveraging the latest in finite element analysis for enhanced stress modelling, the proceedings highlight the pivotal role of simulation in pushing the boundaries of what is possible in mechanical design. With a strong emphasis on sustainable design practices and the utilization of additive manufacturing, this collection not only serves as an indispensable resource for engineers, researchers, and students but also marks a significant step forward in bridging the gap between traditional mechanical design principles and modern computational innovations.

Although it has been considered difficult to make further contributions in the field of mechanics, the spectacular evolution of technology and numerical calculation techniques has made these opinions shift, and increasingly sophisticated models have been developed, which should predict, as accurately as possible, the phenomena that take place in dynamic systems. Therefore, researchers have come to study mechanical systems with complicated behavior using experiments and computer models [ 1 – 3 ]. The key requirement is that the system is nonlinear in its form. The impetus in mechanics and dynamical systems has come from many sources: computer simulation, experimental science, mathematics, and modeling [ 4 – 7 ]. There is a wide range of influences. Computer experiments change the way in which we analyze these systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, modeling mechanical systems, new methods in dynamic systems, the behavior simulation of a mechanical system, nonlinear systems, multibody systems with elastic elements, multi- degrees of freedom, mechanical systems, experimental modal analysis, and mechanics of materials.
