Understanding Nonlinear Analysis

This report explains the differences between linear and nonlinear analysis and how to understand various types of nonlinear behavior.

In this paper you will learn about the differences between linear and nonlinear analysis and realize there are optimum times to use one type of analysis versus the other. We will discover that neglecting nonlinear effects can lead to serious design errors. After reviewing the examples taken from everyday design practice, you will see how nonlinear analysis can help you avoid overdesign and build better products.
