Mechanics & Mechanical Engineering

The mechanical engineering is considered to be one of the core subjects of technology and engineering taught to nearly all branches of the engineering. The subject of mechanical engineering is covering different topics as it is evident from the content of the course; thee is a serious need for a lucid and compact textbook that would cover all topics in a single volume.

The present volume is covering both the theoretical and practical problems of mechanical engineering and its readers will be provided with the information in the form of a set of questions and answers within the concept of the particular chapter together with the concept for the numerical solution and they will not require any other source. The publication has been prepared in a very objective manner with the focus made on the prescribed syllabi. It will for sure be very practically useful to the students of mechanical engineering as well as to the practicing engineers and will help them in getting the thorough technical understanding of this subject.

The book starts with the most important formulas and then the main content comes arranged in seventeen chapters, covering the fundamental concepts, both laws of thermodynamics, intro to the internal combustion engines, friction, support reaction, beam and truss, belt friction, concurrent/non-concurrent force systems, torsion and other important aspects of mechanical engineering.

The book will be providing all interested readers with a remarkably detailed examination of the detection and location as well as the proper diagnostics of possible faults occurring in reciprocating and rotating machinery pieces by means of the vibration analysis. At first, the authors examine the fundamentals and underlying physics theory of the vibration signals. The acquisition and further processing of such signals has been reviewed.

The authors have also identified the key issues of the rectification of the relevant faults using the vibration analysis. The content of the volume also features a coverage of the different techniques of the predictive maintenance, for example oil and particle analysis, infra-red thermography and UT, i.e. ultrasonic inspection. They have used all recent developments and techniques. The readers who spend some time with this book will get a good understanding of the process of measurement and proper application of the vibration analysis for different faults in machinery.

It contains lots of informative materials useful for the machinery maintenance professionals. Among the areas covered there are detection of the unbalance and misalignments, various belt and bearing problems, as well as the failures in the gearboxes. The students will also fin this volume useful for making the relevant presentations and for the homework. 

Here is a volume containing a comprehensive collection of valuable technical data to be used by the students and mechanical engineering. The publication was released to bring together the information and data necessary in the process of design, construction and repair of the various mechanical devices as well as the systems made up by such devices.

This edition of the pocket book was significantly revised in order to keep a due pace with the latest changes in mechanical technology and relevant standards. The author of the book made the emphasis of the existing engineering practice and supported the text with clear accounts of the basic principles. Among the key features of the book we would note the coverage of the BSI engineering data, focusing on the design matters, addressing the roller chain drives, basics of theoretical mechanics, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and so many other aspects considered critically important for the mechanical engineers.

According to the reviews by the readers, this is an ideal desk-book for any calculations and quick references and the must-have one for people involved in the work with large amount of machine design due to the information it contains, including formulas with explanations, symbol identification, charts and data tables, and so many other valuable stuff.

Here is an excellent textbook on classical mechanics that was prepared for students who specialize in physics. As per the author, the main difference of this book from the other available textbooks is a separation of the basics and axioms from various practical applications. The publication is arranged in ten chapters and appendices. For sure, it will be very useful to the students and lecturers. In fact, the scope of the present volume s twofold.

The intention of that author was not to blur the physics with math intricacies, that is why all required mathematical techniques have been transferred to the appendices at the end of the book. It is very important to duly realize that physics is not considered an exact science; it is rather the approximation of the math description of various processes in nature. The author has made an attempt to concentrate mostly on the practical applications and different calculation techniques rather than on the pure theory.

Though the methods and structure of theoretical physics are extremely interesting, it is still indispensable to possess a proper and thorough understanding of the theory with the fundamental results if you want to properly handle and apply them. That is why this publication shall serve more as an introduction to theoretical mechanics rather than to the formal theoretical physics. The book will really be very useful for all students and also to the engineers of various disciplines.​

A really perfect and one of the most comprehensive resources, the present publication has long been serving as basement for the specialists in the various fields of engineering, technicians and managers who were in need of the good technical advise on absolutely every engineering aspect. This edition of the title will bring its readers updated on the most important areas - they will find everything they require to identify and repair any faulty piece of machinery or equipment.

For more than sixty years this Handbook has been used by the professionals all around the world. Among the purely technical chapters, this release of the Handbook will also provide you with the information about the cost estimation an numerous newly introduced sections on conducting maintenance of the mechanical equipment that will be appreciated by the maintenance engineers. According to the reader reviews, the volume is very useful and materials contained are updated and practical. The content of the publication is very well organized, enabling readers to find any information they need.

One of the most popular volumes on the maintenance engineering available today and a must-have for any engineer involved in the routine or periodical maintenance of the assets. Such areas as the maintenance practices, lubrication, maintenance of electrical and mechanical equipment, analysis instruments, reliability tools and many others have all been addressed in the pages of this book.

One of the best textbooks available today. This nineth edition of the publication covers all important aspects, including properties of the fluids, pressure together with its measurement, hydrostatic forces acting on surfaces, floatation, buoyancy, flow kinematics, ideal flow, flow dynamics, mouthpieces and orifices, weirs, notches, turbulent and viscous flows, compressible and boundary layer flows, various hydraulic machines, centrifugal and reciprocating pumps, forces acting on the submerged bodies, dimensional/model analysis and many others.

The chapters making this publication have all been very well arranged and provided with lucid explanations. The book has been widely recognized because of the language used by the author, R. Bansal, and the way material has been presented. It makes no difficulty to understand the content of the publication quickly thanks to the manner of explanation. The readers who have tried this book say that it is very useful and that the examples supplementing the theory are very informative. The fluid mechanics is treated as a branch of science dealing with the behavior of the fluids, including both liquids and gases, both resting and flowing - called fluid statics and dynamics, respectively. 

This book will be very useful for all students who are preparing to sit for the entrance exam and may also be recommended for those passing the relevant professional training courses on the design of machines. The material contained in the volume has been presented in a very clear and simple manner.

The authors of the volume are explaining the complete cycle of the process of engineering design, and paying particular attention to the machines themselves, starting from the proper identification of the problem and defining it using relatively simple terminology, noting the environment in which subject machine is expected to operate, and to the practical and also improvised methods of solution of these problems.
