Series Editor:
The objective of this series is to provide researchers a platform to present state of the
art innovations, research, and design and implement methodological and algorithmic
solutions to data processing problems, designing, and analyzing evolving trends in
health informatics and computer-aided diagnosis. This series provides support and
aid to researchers involved in designing decision support systems that will permit
societal acceptance of ambient intelligence. The overall goal of this series is to pres-
ent the latest snapshot of ongoing research as well as to shed further light on future
directions in this space. The series presents novel technical studies as well as position
and vision papers comprising hypothetical/speculative scenarios. The book series
seeks to compile all aspects of computational intelligence techniques from funda-
mental principles to current advanced concepts. For this series, we invite researchers,
academicians, and professionals to contribute, expressing their ideas and research in
the application of intelligent techniques to the field of engineering in handbook, ref-
erence, or monograph volumes.

Introduction
The modern era of product design and analysis, complex geometry analysis, and
nonlinear analysis has shifted from traditional solving methods to advanced compu-
tational techniques. This provides us with the opportunity to fill this gap by introduc-
ing Advanced Computational Methods in Mechanical and Materials Engineering,
which provides in-d epth knowledge about the field’s methods, simulation, and
experiments.
Advanced Computational Methods in Mechanical and Materials Engineering
provides easier, fast, efficient, and reliable computational methods for solving engi-
neering, geometrical, mathematical, scientific, and statistical problems with the help
of computers to all researchers. These techniques provide additional insights into
various engineering problems. The book will bring to light the application of compu-
tational techniques in mechanical engineering fields with 15 chapters (manufactur-
ing engineering (Section A: 6 chapters), mechanical design engineering (Section
B: 5 chapters), and materials engineering (Section C: 4 chapters)). Each chapter
deals with separate engineering problems and its solving procedures are self-
explanatory. This book’s teaching goes beyond being a purely theoretical text by
providing real examples of numerical methods in real engineering practices, charts,
and techniques to aid learning. The authors have covered numerous topics in an
informative and engaging way, and provide research objectives for future research
work.
Moreover, the applicability of the computational techniques presented in the book
covers the automotive industry, aerospace industry, manufacturing engineering,
nuclear and mechanical engineering.
