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:
“It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred. Women of this age look much more to their earlier childhood for memories of themselves and of their mothers. This links up to her typical parenting phase.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“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)
