    UNIT –I
    MODULE 1
    ENGINEERING ANALYSIS:
    Objectives of Engineering Analysis:

     Engineering analysis is adopted for machineries and building structures before and after
    assembling their parts in order to determine

    (i) the type and quantity of load


    (ii)location of loading
    (iii) developed stress
    (iv) permissible deflection
    (v) vibration properties
    (vi) Pressure and temperature variation.
    Methods of Engineering Analysis:

     The three methods adopted for analyzing engineering products to evaluate their
    mechanical and other properties are:

    1. Experimental methods.
    2. Analytical methods.
    3. Numerical methods or approximation methods
    Experimental methods:
     In these methods, the actual product or their prototype model are really tested by using
    testing equipment.

     If there is a need to change the dimensions of the prototype, the entire prototype is to
    be dis assembled and to be reassembled and then testing should be carried out.

     It needs man-power and materials.


    Analytical Methods:

     These methods are theoretically analyzing methods.

     Only simple and regular shaped products like beams, columns, shafts, plates can be
    analyzed by these methods.

     The products and their loadings specified by mathematical expressions and they
    are analyzed.
    Numerical Methods:

     For the products of complicated sizes, shapes with complicated material


    properties and boundary conditions, getting solutions using analytical method
    is highly difficult. In such situation, engineer prefers numerical methods that
    gives approximate but acceptable solutions.

     By this method, the approximate but acceptable solutions will be obtained.


    Three methods in Numerical methods

     Functional Approximating Method.


     Finite Difference Method (FDM).
     Finite Element Method (FEM)
    Functional Approximation:

     In this method, the physical problems are first written in terms of differential
    equation or any possible mathematical expressions.

     Then the approximate solution can be obtained by integration and by applying


    boundary condition.

     The variational method specifically known as Rayleigh-Ritz methods and


    weighted residual methods are some of the functional approximating methods.
    Finite Difference Method (FDM):

     The finite difference method approximates the derivatives in the governing


    differential equation using difference equations.

     Finite difference method is useful for solving heat transfer and fluid mechanics
    problems.

     This method cannot be effectively used for regions having curved or irregular
    boundaries.
    Finite Element Method (FEM)

     In this method, the complex region defining the domain is divided into smaller
    elements called finite elements.

     The physical properties like shape, dimensions and other boundary conditions are
    imposed on the elements.

     Then these elements are assembled in a proper way and the solution for the entire
    system can be obtained.
    Classification of Functional
    Approximation Methods:
     The two major classifications of functional approximation methods are:

    1. Weighted residual methods

    2. Variational Methods
    Weighted Residual Method:

     The weighted residual method is employed to obtain the approximate


    solutions to linear and non-linear problem whose characteristics are
    expressed in terms of differential equations.

     In this method, the required simultaneous equations to find the solution can
    be derived from the governing differential equation without any need of
    knowing the ‘functional’.
    Weighted Residual Method- Contd
     Naturally the approximate solution contains some error.

     Based on the methods of minimizing the error from approximate solution, the
    weighted residual technique can be adopted in four methods namely;

    1. Point Collocation method


    2. Sub-domain Collocation method
    3. Least squares method
    4. Galerkin’s method
    Weighted Residual Method- Contd
    Procedure:

    1. Consider ye(x) is the exact solution for the differential equation.

    2. Suppose the exact solution cannot be found out, then another approximate function
    called trial function must be considered and is
    substituted in the differential equation and the residual R(x,ai) will be found out.

    3. This residual will be further treated and the required solution can be evaluated. It
    should be noted that the trail function must satisfy the boundary conditions.
    Weighted Residual Method- Contd
    Procedure:

    4. Also the weighted residual method requires that,


    𝑖=1,2,…i.e., the residual is multiplied a weighting function and the
    domain integral of the product is required to be zero.

    5. The number of weighting functions is equal to the number of unknown


    coefficients in the approximate function.
