Distinguished Figures in Mechanism and Machine Science
This book discusses the technological developments achieved by distinguished figures in the history of mechanism and machine science (MMS). This is the fifth volume of a series of books which gathered contributions on the leading scientists in the field. This book focuses specifically on the IFToMM community and its activities over the last 50 years, showcases who-is-who in MMS, and emphasizes—together with the previous books of the series—the significance of MMS through time. Each chapter recognizes persons whose scientific work resulted in relevant technical developments in the historical evolution of MMS within IFToMM. Biographical notes describing the efforts and achievements of these persons are included as well, but a technical survey is the core of each chapter, offering a modern interpretation of their legacy.
Machine Design
Computer aided design (CAD) emerged in the 1960s out of the growing acceptance of the use of the computer as a design tool for complex systems. As computers have become faster and less expensive while handling an increasing amount of information, their use in machine design has spread from large industrial needs to the small designer.
Vibration for Engineers
This comprehsive text is intended for use on one- or two-term introductory courses in vibrations taught to mechanical, aerospace, engineering mechanics, and civil engineering undergraduates. The work emphasizes design and extends the discussion of design beyond handbook solutions for component sizing to include the assumptions underlying the handbook solutions. Symbolic processing is introduced for those readers who want to extend their understanding of the fundamentals of vibration analysis. The text also includes historical references so that students will understand how vibration theories developed. Drill exercises have been added to the introductory chapters to help students understand basic concepts before proceeding to solve more complex problems requiring numerical results, and a new appendix has been added with tables covering mass, damping and stiffness properties of engineering materials.
The Magic of Mathematics
The author of The Joy of Mathematics explores the mathematics of nature, literature and art. This fascinating look at the surprising ways mathematics influences the everyday world takes an abstract universe and anchors it to the "real" worlds of science, history and the arts in an intriguing way. Photos and line drawings.
The Design of High-efficiency Turbomachinery and Gas Turbines
Descripción del editor: "SummaryThe second edition of a comprehensive textbook that introduces turbomachinery and gas turbines through design methods and examples.This comprehensive textbook is unique in its design-focused approach to turbomachinery and gas turbines. It offers students and practicing engineers methods for configuring these machines to perform with the highest possible efficiency. Examples and problems are based on the actual design of turbomachinery and turbines.After an introductory chapter that outlines the goals of the book and provides definitions of terms and parts, the book offers a brief review of the basic principles of thermodynamics and efficiency definitions.
