Springer Handbook of Mechanical Engineering

Beschreibung

Mechanical Engineering is a professional engineering discipline which involves the application of principles of physics, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. It requires a solid understanding of the key concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy. Mechanical engineers use these principles and others in the design and analysis of automobiles, aircrafts, heating and cooling systems, industrial equipment and machinery. In addition to these main areas, specialized fields are necessary to prepare future engineers for their positions in industry, such as mechatronics and robotics, transportation and logistics, fuel technology, automotive engineering, biomechanics, vibration, optics and others. Accordingly, the Springer Handbook of Mechanical Engineering devotes its contents to all areas of interest for the practicing engineer as well as for the student at various levels and educational institutions. Authors from all over the world have contributed with their expertise and support the globally working engineer in finding a solution for today‘s mechanical engineering problems.Each subject is discussed in detail and supported by numerous figures and tables. DIN standards are retained throughout and ISO equivalents are given where possible. The text offers a concise but detailed and authoritative treatment of the topics with full references. Key Topics Engineering Mathematics Mechanics Materials Science and Tribology Thermodynamics Design of Machine Elements Manufacturing Engineering Measuring and Quality Control Engineering Design Pressure Vessels and Heat Exchangers Turbomachinery Transportation Systems Construction and Earth Moving Equipment Power Generation Electrical Engineering Enterprise Organization and Operation Features All mechanical engineering disciplines Over 1700 comprehensive illustrations and tables Exhaustive up-to-date references to approved data Fully searchable DVD for quick access to data A resource for higher-level students Written for every-day use by the globally working engineer

This text covers the main areas of mechanical engineering and specialized applications such as robotics, cryogenics, and optics. Written by a global team of experts, it is ideal for practicing engineers and students at various levels.

Encyclopedias describe Mechanical Engineering as a professional engineering discipline that involves the application of principles of physics for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. It requires a solid understanding of key concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy. Mechanical engineers use these principles and others for example in the design and analysis of automobiles, aircrafts, heating and cooling systems, industrial equipment and machinery. In addition to these main areas, specialized fields are offered at universities to prepare future engineers for their position in industry, such as: mechatronics and robotics, transportation and logistics, cryogenics, fuel technology, automotive engineering, biomechanics, vibration, optics and others.

Accordingly, the Springer Handbook of Mechanical Engineering devotes its contents to these areas of interest for the practicing engineer as well as for the student at various levels and educational institutions.

Authors from all over the world have contributed with their expertise and support the globally working engineer in finding a solution for today’s mechanical engineering problems.

From the reviews:"This handbook has been conveniently structured into three parts: A. Fundamentals, B. Applications, and C. Complementary Material. … this handbook a truly unique and indispensable information source, a ‘must-have’ for any engineer’s book shelf. The book is of particular help for materials engineers in showing the cross-links to all important key-topics of mechanical engineering." (Materialprüfung Materials Testing, Vol. 51 (3), 2009)"This massive volume, edited by Grote … and Antonsson (Caltech), and including 92 contributors, is the most up-to-date and most representative of the state-of-the-art in many broad areas encompassed by the field of mechanical engineering. The book contains three parts … . The usefulness of this handbook is hampered by its skimpy index … it has many attributes that make it an important addition to the reference shelf of any library serving a mechanical engineering department. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." (A. M. Strauss, Choice, Vol. 47 (1), September, 2009)“This handbook on mechanical engineering provides details on … fundamental building blocks of mechanical engineering. … It is broken down into three parts. … Since quite a wide variety of topics is covered in this handbook, it will give students an idea of what is involved in a number of different areas of mechanical engineering and in some electrical engineering specialties. Those not specializing in mechanical engineering but needing to learn the basics as part of their job will also find it useful.” (John S. Shea, IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Vol. 26 (3), May/June, 2010)
