The finite element method (FEM) is the dominant tool for numerical
analysis in engineering, yet many engineers apply it without fully
understanding all the principles. Learning the method can be
challenging, but Mike Gosz has condensed the basic mathematics,
concepts, and applications into a simple and easy-to-understand
reference. Finite Element Method: Applications in Solids,
Structures, and Heat Transfer navigates through linear, linear
dynamic, and nonlinear finite elements with an emphasis on building
confidence and familiarity with the method, not just the
procedures. This book demystifies the assumptions made, the
boundary conditions chosen, and whether or not proper failure
criteria are used. It reviews the basic math underlying FEM,
including matrix algebra, the Taylor series expansion and
divergence theorem, vectors, tensors, and mechanics of continuous
media. The author discusses applications to problems in solid
mechanics, the steady-state heat equation, continuum and structural
finite elements, linear transient analysis, small-strain
plasticity, and geometrically nonlinear problems. He illustrates
the material with 10 case studies, which define the problem,
consider appropriate solution strategies, and warn against common
pitfalls. Additionally, 35 interactive virtual reality modeling
language files are available for download from the CRC Web site.
For anyone first studying FEM or for those who simply wish to
deepen their understanding, Finite Element Method: Applications in
Solids, Structures, and Heat Transfer is the perfect resource.

Explaining the symbology of dimensioning and tolerancing and
introducing a step-by-step system for geometric definition, this
book provides examples for the application of geometric controls.
The author breaks down the language of geometric product definition
into a series of steps that consist of significant questions to be
asked at any point in the product definition. He addresses
functional requirements and manufacturing techniques, measurement,
inspection, and gaging procedures. The book illustrates how
symbology is best utilized, in what order it should be applied, and
how each geometric control anticipates, integrates, and complements
all other geometric controls on a part and in an assembly.

This is the more practical approach to engineering mechanics that
deals mainly withtwo-dimensional problems, since these comprise the
great majority of engineering situationsand are the necessary
foundation for good design practice. The format developedfor this
textbook, moreover, has been devised to benefit from contemporary
ideas ofproblem solving as an educational tool. In both areas
dealing with statics and dynamics,theory is held apart from
applications, so that practical engineering problems, whichmake use
of basic theories in various combinations, can be used to reinforce
theoryand demonstrate the workings of static and dynamic
engineering situations.In essence a traditional approach, this book
makes use of two-dimensional engineeringdrawings rather than
pictorial representations. Word problems are included in the
latterchapters to encourage the student's ability to use verbal and
graphic skills interchangeably.SI units are employed throughout the
text.This concise and economical presentation of engineering
mechanics has been classroomtested and should prove to be a lively
and challenging basic textbook for two onesemestercourses for
students in mechanical and civil engineering. Applied
EngineeringMechanics: Statics and Dynamics is equally suitable for
students in the second or thirdyear of four-year engineering
technology programs.
Fuzzy control methods are critical for meeting the demands of
complex nonlinear systems. They bestow robust, adaptive, and
self-correcting character to complex systems that demand high
stability and functionality beyond the capabilities of traditional
methods. A thorough treatise on the theory of fuzzy logic control
is out of place on the design bench. That is why Fuzzy Controller
Design: Theory and Applications offers laboratory- and
industry-tested algorithms, techniques, and formulations of
real-world problems for immediate implementation. With surgical
precision, the authors carefully select the fundamental elements of
fuzzy logic control theory necessary to formulate effective and
efficient designs. The book supplies a springboard of knowledge,
punctuated with examples worked out in MATLAB(R)/SIMULINK(R), from
which newcomers to the field can dive directly into applications.
It systematically covers the design of hybrid, adaptive, and
self-learning fuzzy control structures along with strategies for
fuzzy controller design suitable for on-line and off-line
operation. Examples occupy an entire chapter, with a section
devoted to the simulation of an electro-hydraulic servo system. The
final chapter explores industrial applications with emphasis on
techniques for fuzzy controller implementation and different
implementation platforms for various applications. With proven
methods based on more than a decade of experience, Fuzzy Controller
Design: Theory and Applications is a concise guide to the
methodology, design steps, and formulations for effective control
solutions.

how dimensional constraints are resolved and managed and offers
effective techniques to dimension and parameterize solids.
