Overview
Advances 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.
This 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.
Providing 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 in this area.

Booknews
Life cycle engineering projects from a three-year collaborative research initiative between the National Science Foundation and Sandia National Laboratories reflect current progress in modeling and simulation of the life cycle of engineered systems, focusing on aspects of design, fabrication, maintenance, and disposal. Reports are arranged in sections on solid and structural dynamics, thermal and fluid sciences, and optimization and uncertainty quantification and design. Specific topics include modeling of joints and interfaces, and life-cycle and durability predictions of elastomeric components. Material is of interest to civil, mechanical, manufacturing, and other engineers, as well as students. Ching is affiliated with the National Science Foundation. The book is distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
