Typical Uses
Nonlinear means at least one (and sometimes all) of the following complications:
- Changing boundary conditions (such as contact between parts that changes over time)
- Large deformations (for example the crumpling of sheet metal parts)
- Nonlinear materials that do not exhibit ideally elastic behavior (for example thermoplastic polymers)
Transient dynamic means analyzing high speed, short duration events where inertial forces are important. Typical uses include:
- Automotive crash (deformation of chassis, airbag inflation, seatbelt tensioning, ...)
- Explosions (underwater mines, shaped charges, ...)
- Manufacturing (sheet metal stamping, ...)

Famous quotes containing the word typical:
“Consciousness is cerebral celebrity—nothing more and nothing less. Those contents are conscious that persevere, that monopolize resources long enough to achieve certain typical and “symptomatic” effects—on memory, on the control of behavior and so forth.”
—Daniel Clement Dennett (b. 1942)
“It was announced that the trouble was not “malignant.”... It was a typical triumph of modern science to find the only part of Randolph that was not malignant and remove it.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
