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.
