Niku-Lari, A. (ed.) FEMCAD-88. Proceedings of the fourth SAS-world conference, Paris, October 17-19, 1988. Organized by IITT-International, Gournay-sur-Marne, France. Vol. 2: Numerical and exprimental analysis in structural optimization. (English) Zbl 0683.73053 Technology Transfer Series. Gournay-sur-Marne: Institute for Industrial Technology Transfer (IITT-International. 40 Promenade Marx Dormoy, F- 93460 Gournay-sur-Marne, France). 512 p. FF 700.00; $ 117.00 (1988). [The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually.] The second volume contains several papers on industrial applications of optimal design approach. The applications of the finite elements method in fracture mechanics, metal forming, electromagnetics, acoustics and other fields are presented. The advanced CAD systems based on structural analysis and knowledge based engineering are discussed. The methods of measurement of stresses, strains and structures are described in two final chapters of the volume. The volume may be valuable to the practicioning engineers (from advanced technology companies and from the companies starting to implement CAD/CAE/CAM systems) as well as to the scientists interested in practical applications of numerical methods and advanced computer technology.
