Harness the power of SOLIDWORKS Simulation for design, assembly, and performance analysis of components

Existing structures represent a heterogeneous category in the global built environment as often characterized by the presence of archaic materials, damage and disconnections, uncommon construction techniques and subsequent interventions throughout the building history.

This textbook combines the theory of elasticity (advanced analytical treatment of stress analysis problems) and finite element methods (numerical details of finite element formulations) into one academic course derived from author's teaching, research, and applied work in automotive product development and civil structural analysis.

For courses in Plastics, Materials and Manufacturing found in departments of mechanical, industrial or manufacturing technology or engineering; also for any beginning course in Plastics in engineering or technology programs. 

This book provides essential information on metal forming, utilizing a practical distinction between bulk and sheet metal forming. In the field of bulk forming, it examines processes of cold, warm and hot bulk forming, as well as rolling and a new addition, the process of thixoforming. As for the field of sheet metal working, on the one hand it deals with sheet metal forming processes (deep drawing, flange forming, stretch drawing, metal spinning and bending). In terms of special processes, the chapters on internal high-pressure forming and high rate forming have been revised and refined.

The future of manufacturing companies depends largely on their ability to adapt to swiftly changing global conditions. 

Depuis quelques années, les observations d’ovnis de forme triangulaire sont en nette augmentation. Parmi elles, les témoins décrivent de mystérieux « triangles noirs ». Suite à ces très nombreuses observations, des questions urgentes s’imposent à nous : D’où viennent ces engins ? Par qui sont-ils pilotés ? Quelles technologies utilisent-ils ? Pourquoi survolent-ils notre territoire avec insistance ? Quelles sont leurs intentions envers les populations ? Cette sorte de « surveillance » permanente obéit-elle à un plan, et si oui, lequel ?
