LS-DYNA for Engineers: A Practical Tutorial Book (FE analysis for Engineers 2)

'LS-DYNA for Engineers: A practical tutorial book' introduces basic theory and practical engineering applications using LS-DYNA in each chapter. LS-DYNA is one of the best explicit finite element analysis software developed by LSTC. This book presents 17 chapters including workshop tutorials and can serve as a self-learning guidebook that enables readers to solve practical finite element based engineering problems. It offers step-by-step procedures to create the FE model using LS-Prepost and keyword edit. This book is focused on providing practical implementing knowledge for FE analysis with LS-DYNA, rather than emphasizing mathematical formulation. The workshop models have been developed by the authors for the purpose of training post-graduate students and beginning engineers. It is intended to help readers establish a solid basis for FE problem-solving capability with LS-DYNA. Access code of LS-DYNA models used in workshop examples is included in the book.
