Practical Finite Element Simulations with SOLIDWORKS 2022 - An illustrated guide to performing static analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Khameel B. Mustapha

Summary

SOLIDWORKS is a dominant computer-aided design (CAD) software for the 3D modeling, designing, and analysis of components. This book helps you get to grips with SOLIDWORKS Simulation, which is a remarkable and integral part of SOLIDWORKS predominantly deployed for advanced product performance assessment and virtual prototyping.
With this book, you'll take a hands-on approach to learning SOLIDWORKS Simulation with the help of step-by-step guidelines on various aspects of the simulation workflow. You'll begin by learning about the requirements for effective simulation of parts and components, along with the idealization of physical components and their representation with finite element models. As you progress through the book, you'll find exercises at the end of each chapter, and you'll be able to download the geometry models used in all the chapters from GitHub. Finally, you’ll discover how to set up finite element simulations for the static analysis of components under various types of loads, and with different types of materials, from simple isotropic to composite, and different boundary conditions.
By the end of this SOLIDWORKS 2022 book, you'll be able to conduct basic and advanced static analyses with SOLIDWORKS Simulation and have practical knowledge of how to best use the family of elements in the SOLIDWORKS Simulation library.

Who is Conscious? - A Guide to...

Marian Stamp Dawkins

Consciousness is the most fascinating but tantalizingly difficult topic in biology. Although many people now believe that mammals, birds, and possibly all vertebrates are conscious, there are also claims that many other animals such as crabs and insects may be conscious too. Such claims, if true, would have major implications for what we eat, how we control pests, and for our relationship with the animal world. Now, more than ever, it is important to question the evidence and ask: what do we really know about animal consciousness? 
Who is Conscious? is an adventure into animal minds. It is a guide into the conscious experiences of animals with no words to tell us what they might be thinking or feeling. It proposes some simple questions to help us decide which evidence to believe. It looks at recent evidence for consciousness in various animal species and asks how well it stands up to being challenged. It describes research on human consciousness and asks whether we should conclude that non-humans are conscious too.

A Biography of Isambard Kingdom...

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).

The year is 1806 – a baby boy has just been born in a small English coastal town. This child was born into a world without the lightbulb, without cars; a world in which only two years previously mankind had discovered that steam could be used to power a locomotive engine. This was a time of rapid change – the industrial revolution was beginning and one of the world's greatest and most inventive minds was about to make history.

He would become one of the leading figures of this new technological age, helping to bring the world out of the darkness of the previous centuries, and into a new era of progress.

He was a visionary – an engineer and inventor of unparalleled ingenuity and ambition. With his railway projects he would conquer rivers, mountains, and vast stretches of land. His oceanic projects would produce the largest and most powerful ships the world had ever seen – helping thousands of people to bridge the continents and bringing mankind closer than ever before. His architectural projects would serve as testament to the ingenuity of mankind and would stamp his legacy upon the landscape. But his legacy endures in more than his constructions and inventions – his genius would come to inspire whole generations of new engineers, architects, and scientists – his legacy lives on all around us.

So, join us now, as we trace his story from its very beginnings – join us on an exploration of the life and times of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

Real Near-Death Stories NDE...

Tales Of Afterlife

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
What if consciousness continues beyond clinical death, and ordinary people have returned with extraordinary proof of an afterlife? Journey through meticulously documented near-death experiences that challenge everything science tells us about consciousness and mortality. These aren't folklore or religious tales—they're verified accounts from credible witnesses whose lives were forever transformed by their encounters with death and return. Discover the remarkable story of Tom Sawyer, who survived 33,000 volts of electricity for twenty minutes, experiencing clinical death while witnessing profound revelations about existence, interconnectedness, and the nature of reality itself. Follow Dr. Lloyd Rudy's impossible surgical case that shattered a veteran heart surgeon's materialist worldview. Each account features extensive research, medical documentation, and follow-up studies that validate these extraordinary experiences. Explore detailed life reviews where experiencers relive every moment from multiple perspectives, understanding the ripple effects of their actions across time and space. Witness dramatic personality transformations, enhanced psychic abilities, and the complete loss of death anxiety that characterizes authentic near-death experiences. These stories offer compelling evidence for consciousness survival, featuring truck drivers, medical professionals, and ordinary individuals who encountered something beyond physical reality. Whether you're seeking comfort about mortality, exploring consciousness research, or investigating evidence for an afterlife, these thoroughly investigated cases provide profound insights into humanity's greatest mystery—what happens when we die.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Basics...

Dean Stratton

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Written for curious beginners, students, clinicians-in-training, and informed patients, this guide explains the science and day-to-day realities of multiple sclerosis in clear, compassionate language. You’ll learn how an immune-mediated attack on myelin disrupts brain and spinal cord signaling; how typical presentations such as optic neuritis, sensory change, imbalance, and weakness are evaluated; and how diagnosis uses clinical history plus MRI evidence of dissemination in time and space, sometimes supported by cerebrospinal-fluid oligoclonal bands and the McDonald criteria. Understand current disease-modifying therapies (injectable, oral, and monoclonal), what they can and cannot do, and how acute relapses are treated (usually high-dose corticosteroids; plasma exchange when steroid-refractory). Equally, this book emphasizes rehabilitation, fatigue and mood management, heat sensitivity, cognition, exercise, nutrition, pregnancy planning, and shared decision-making. A vivid opening vignette follows “Aisha,” a young designer with sudden blurred vision, through referral, imaging, treatment choices, and building a relapse action plan—turning complex neurology into practical steps.

✓ Plain-English primers with clinician-level sidebars, flowcharts, and a jargon-free glossary.
✓ Case vignettes and “ask your neurologist” checklists mapped to every stage of care.
✓ MRI & lab walkthroughs: lesion patterns, dissemination rules, red flags, and pitfalls.
✓ Treatment landscape decoded: DMT classes, safety monitoring, vaccination timing.
✓ Daily-living playbook: fatigue pacing, mobility, cognition, work, travel, and heat.
✓ Practical tools: symptom tracker, flare diary, medication matrix, goal-setting sheets.
