How to Analyse Practical Problems
The Education and Training Working Group
wish to Commission a new book entitled “How to Analyse
Practical Problems”.
This book is aimed at a graduate level industrial user who is
inexperienced in practical finite element analysis but who wishes
to start using either stand-alone or CAD embedded FE packages for
such purposes. The object of the deliverable is to describe
in detail a number of practical problems, about 6 in all. The
problems should be of a diverse nature within the fields of stress,
thermal and dynamics behaviour, preferably including some non
–linear behaviour. They should reflect typical industrial
applications.
For each problem, the description should include reasons for
solving the problem from an industrial perspective, how the
geometry, loadings, material properties etc. were chosen,
CAD/meshing techniques used, and any relevant comments on the
analysis. Discussion on how the results are interpreted and
what educational conclusions can be gained from them would be
valuable. Any pitfalls, again with educational implications, should
also be included.
The proposal should summarise details of the individual problems,
over one to two pages for each problem.
The closing date for proposals is 21st
September 2008.
Please e-mail proposals to etwg@nafems.org
