Modeling and Simulation Based Life-Cycle Engineering

<p>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. <br>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. <br>Providing comprehensive coverage of this rapidly emerging field <em>Modeling and Simulation-Based Life Cycle Engineering</em> is essential reading for civil mechanical and manufacturing engineers. It will also appeal to students and academics in this area.</p>
