Abstract
Often, the mathematical modeling of mechanical components leads to a s et of nonlinear equations which have to be solved in order to compute the design variables. This paper discusses the performance of six diff erent nonlinear, algebraic-equation solvers useful for machine design problems. Problems from spring design are taken as test cases for the purpose of evaluation.
