This book covers machining simulations using advanced nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) methodologies coupled with CAD-based techniques. The content increases awareness about the possibilities to reduce the actual experimental work via experimentally validated simulations using nonlinear finite element analysis.

Provides extensive knowledge on modern FEA machining simulations Incorporates statistical methodologies and validation Covers the topic of machining simulations using advanced nonlinear FEA
