Covers various major areas of mechanical engineering with coverage of the definitions, formulas, examples, theory, proofs, and explanations of various principle subject areas. This book is suitable for mechanical engineering students and those preparing for the engineering licensing examinations.
Recent Developments of Electrical Drives The contributions selected for the book cover a wide spectrum of theory and practice, thus they are deeply rooted in engineering problems, being simultaneously of high theoretical level. This way the contents of the book is believed to touch the heart of the matter in electrical drives (theory, control systems and applications). The book, stating the recent developments of electrical drives, can be useful for engineers and researchers investigating and designing electrical and electronic devices as well as for students and young researchers dealing with electrical and electronic engineering, computer sciences (advanced computer modelling, sophisticated control systems with artificial intelligence tools applied, optimal design bye use of classical and genetic algorithms employed), applied mathematics and all the topics where electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical phenomena occur.
Research at the nanoscale and the new technologies being developed are evolving much too rapidly to provide a complete picture of the field. Instead, the second edition of this enormously popular and bestselling handbook presents a wide snapshot of the current state of the art, including basic concepts, current challenges, and advanced research results. Along with 18 revised chapters, this second edition also features 24 brand new chapters that cover such topics as applications of spintronic devices, optoelectronics, DNA-based computing, ordered carbon nanotube architectures, nanocomposities, and bio-molecular motors.
Considering each technology in depth from both scientific and environmental perspectives, the book covers solar energy, photovoltaic, wind, wave, tidal and hydro power, biofuels, geothermals and more, and also features a new chapter on institutional factors, including ergonomics. In addition, extra worked problems and case studies are provided to help readers put theory into practice. After each chapter, reading and web-based material is indicated for further study, making this text ideal not only for practitioners but also for students on multi-disciplinary masters degrees in science and engineering as well specialist modules in science and engineering first degrees.
Fundamentals of Finite Element Analysisis is intended to be the text for asenior-level nite element course in engineering programs. The mostappropriate major programs are civil engineering, engineering mechan-ics, and mechanical engineering. The nite element method is such a widely used analysis-and-design technique that it is essential that undergraduate engineering students have a basic knowledge of the theory and applications of the technique.
