Description

Modeling and simulation are central to a mechanical engineer’s activity.�Increasingly complex models are being used routinely on a daily basis.�This revolution is the result of the extraordinary progress in computer technology in terms of both hardware and software. This work deals with the control of the hypotheses leading from a mechanical model, usually coming from continuum mechanics, to a numerical model, i.e. the mastery of the mechanical computation process itself.� Particular attention is given to structural analysis which, in this context, is the most advanced domain. A significant part of this work is dedicated to the application of error estimators to the control of the various parameters involved in a calculation, beginning with the parameters related to the mesh.Typham this is the title: Mastering Calculations in Linear and Nonlinear Mechanics
