Publisher's Synopsis
The text Numerical Methods for Scientific and Engineering Computation introduces the basics in computing, stresses on errors in computation, discusses various direct and iterative methods for solving algebraic and transcendental equations and a method for solving a system of nonlinear equations and linear system of equations. It provides a complete course on numerical methods for all branches of engineering. First chapter focuses on numerical simulations of post-critical behavior of thin-walled load-bearing structures applied in aviation. The aim of second chapter is to analyze the unsteady flow characteristics and wall pressure fluctuations and oscillations over the hemisphere-cylinder, the bulbous payload shroud of a typical satellite launch vehicle and the conical spike attached to the forward facing blunt body. Computer modelling of radial-direct extrusion of porous powder billets has been discussed in third chapter. Fourth chapter deals with the application of the lyapunov exponents and wavelets to study and control of plates and shells. Fifth chapter simulates a reaction wheel and its control in Simulink exclusively for the controller design. The application of the Liu and Murakami damage model for creep crack growth predictions in power plant steels has been proposed in sixth chapter. The investigation of sensitivity to heavy-ion irradiation of junctionless double-gate MOSFETs by 3-d numerical simulation has been performed in seventh chapter. Eighth chapter discusses on experimental determinations and numerical simulations of the effects of electromagnetic interferences into the overhead power lines with double circuit, operating with a disconnected circuit. In ninth chapter, we focus on soft-errors induced by atmospheric neutrons in the floating gate (FG) array of flash memories. In tenth chapter, wave decay in the breaker zone and the wave-sheltering effect by the sand spit themselves have been evaluated, taking the local change in topography in the surf zone into account and using the energy balance equation for irregular waves. Nonparametric model for business performance evaluation in forestry has been presented in last chapter.
