Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring a wide variety of the latest time-saving computer-aided methods, this practical guide covers the design and analysis of most machine elements that are statically indeterminate. Packed with scores of illustrations and examples as well as numerous case studies specific to the manufacturing industry, it provides methods that apply to such mechanical components as cranes, hydraulic presses, pressure vessels, heavy duty molding boxes, gear boxes, steam turbine rotors, boiler frames, compressor disks, gear wheels and impellers, and circuit breakers. Included is important discussion of cyclic symmetry, a subject rarely covered by books on the finite element method.
