Mechanical Engineering

Known for the simplicity and clarity of its writing style and its economical coverage of a large number of topics, Theory of Machines and Mechanisms covers the fundamentals of mechanisms, kinematics and dynamics of machines.

An up-to-date text that provides a solid background in manufacturing processes. It presents a mostly qualitative description of the science, technology, and practice of manufacturing.

The text moves naturally on from a discussion of basic concepts such as damped oscillations, diffraction and interference to more advanced topics such as transmission lines and attenuation, wave guides, diffusion, Fourier series, and electromagnetic waves in dielectrics and conductors. Throughout the text the emphasis on the underlying principles helps readers to develop their physics insight as an aid to problem solving.

Engineering mechanics provides the theories and methods of describing and predicting the state of equilibrium or accelerated motion of particles or rigid bodies under the action of forces.

An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering: Part 2 is an essential text for all undergraduate students. The text provides thorough coverage of the following core engineering topics: Fluid dynamics, Thermodynamics, Solid mechanics, Control theory and techniques, Mechanical power, loads and transmissions, Structural vibration.

The intent of this book is to provide a background in the mechanics of solids for students of mechanical engineering, while limiting the information on why materials behave as they do. It is assumed that the students have already had courses covering materials science and basic statics.

A balanced mechanics-materials approach and coverage of the latest developments in biomaterials and electronic materials.

Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design is a standard text intended for beginners of the subject area. This revised edition in SI units focuses on blending fundamental concepts with modern emphasis on design and new applications.
