Structural Mechanical Engineering

Finite Element Method: Applications in Solids, Structures, and Heat Transfer navigates through linear, linear dynamic, and nonlinear finite elements with an emphasis on building confidence and familiarity with the method, not just the procedures. It demystifies the assumptions made, the boundary con..

This book provides a unified approach to the teaching of the basic mechanical engineering disciplines of mechanics for students at foundation and first year levels...

Foundations of Ultra-Precision Mechanism Design..

This book presents the fundamentals of low gravity fluid dynamics and heat transfer...

Hemeon's Plant & Process Ventilation..

Offers details on the utilization of electrical heating elements in consumer appliance design and industrial processes. The text includes basic theory, metallurgy and production advice for developing more reliable and cost-effective heaters. It provides tables comparing resistivity and surface resis..

This collection of papers on research into and management of underground structures in salt formations represents the state-of-the-art on applications of salt mechanics in mines and storage caverns for gas/hydrocarbon, radioactive waste and toxic waste disposal, and will appeal to academics, enginee..

This important work covers the fundamentals of finite deformation in solids and constitutive relations for different types of stresses in large deformation of solids. In addition, the book covers the fracture phenomena in brittle or quasi-brittle materials in which large deformation does not occur. ..

This updated and enlarged Second Edition provides in-depth, progressive studies of kinematic mechanisms and offers novel, simplified methods of solving typical problems that arise in mechanisms synthesis and analysis - concentrating on the use of algebra and trigonometry and minimizing the need for ..

Mechatronics and the Design of Intelligent Machines and Systems reflects the primary areas of development in mechatronics and focuses on the higher-level approaches needed to support the design and implementation of mechatronic systems. Throughout the book, the authors emphasize the importance of sy..

The increasing scope and complexity of mechatronic systems means that their design and development must be subject to the disciplines of good engineering practice. This text reflects the methods and techniques available to support the successful design and implementation of such systems...

_x005F_x000D_ Non-Conservative Systems: New Static and Dynamic Stability Criteria summarizes the essential properties of non-conservative elastic systems (static stability and post-critical behavior), and the importance of novel stability criteria for such systems...
