Features: This book first systematically introduces the concepts, formulas, and implementation steps of the two main numerical analysis methods, the finite difference method and the finite element method. The main content includes the finite difference analysis of temperature fields and flow problems, as well as the finite element analysis of elastic, elastoplastic, and plastic problems. It then introduces the application of numerical analysis in computer simulation of material forming processes such as casting and forging. These contents will provide readers with a relatively complete set of knowledge necessary for applying simulation software to analyze engineering problems. This book is written as a textbook for undergraduate students in the material forming and control engineering program after professional adjustments in higher education institutions. It can also be used as a reference for teachers and students in material science, mechanical engineering, and related fields, as well as for science and technology personnel engaged in material processing and mechanical manufacturing.
