This book focuses on numerical simulation-based design theory and methods in

mechanical engineering. The simulation-based design of mechanical equipment

involves considerable scientific challenges including extremely complex systems,

extreme working conditions, multi-source uncertainties, multi-physics coupling, and

large-scale computation. In order to overcome these technical difficulties, this book

systematically elaborates upon the advanced design methods, covering high-fidelity

simulation modeling, rapid structural analysis, multi-objective design optimization,

uncertainty analysis and optimization, which can effectively improve the design

accuracy, efficiency, multi-functionality and reliability of complicated mechanical

structures.

This book is primarily intended for researchers, engineers and postgraduate students

in mechanical engineering, especially in mechanical design, numerical simulation and

engineering optimization.
