The updated revision of the bestseller-in a more useful format!
Mechanical Engineers' Handbook has a long tradition as a singleresource of valuable information related to specialty areas in thediverse industries and job functions in which mechanical engineerswork. This Third Edition, the most aggressive revision to date, goesbeyond the straight data, formulas, and calculations provided in otherhandbooks and focuses on authoritative discussions, real-worldexamples, and insightful analyses while covering more topics than inprevious editions.
Book 1: Materials and Mechanical Design is divided into two parts thatgo hand-in-hand. The first part covers metals, plastics, composites,ceramics, and smart materials, providing expert advice on common usesof specific materials as well as what criteria qualify them as suitablefor particular applications. Coverage in the second part of this bookaddresses practical techniques to solve real, everyday problems,including:
- Nondestructive testing
- Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
- TRIZ (the Russian acronym for Theory of Inventive Problem Solving)
- The Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP)
- Virtual reality
