Mechanical Vibrations

EBook Description: This analysis of dynamic stresses on rotational machines such as helicopters and piston engines explains the main dynamic phenomena and how they can be observed in reality as well as information on the modeling methods required to understand the dynamic phenomena and develop solutions capable of eliminating the most serious effects.

A fascinating compendium of early-20th-century mechanical devices, this expansive work ranges from basic hooks and levers to complex machinery used in steam, motive, hydraulic, air, and electric power, navigation, gearing, clocks, mining, and construction. More than 1,800 engravings include simple illustrations and detailed cross-sections.

Understanding Mechanical Ventilation

This book will familiarize not only physicians but also nurses and respiratory therapists with the concepts that underlie mechanical ventilation. A conscious attempt has been made to emphasize medical physiology throughout the book, in order to specifically address the how`s and why`s of mechanical ventilation. At the same time the book incorporates the current strategies for the mechanical ventilation of patients with specific disorders; this should be of some use to the specialists practicing in their respective ICUs.

Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements

For those who share an interest in mechanical things, this book is addictive. Through the use of simplified, concise drawings, here are 507 of the small components which make up complex machinery in areas as diverse as C.R. Otis�s safety stop for the elevator, Pickering�s governor for a steam engine, Arnold�s escapement for watches, compound parallel rules, piston rod guides, the grasshopper beam engine and a self recording level for surveyors.

Principles and Practice of Mechanical Ventilation, 2nd Editi

Up-to-the minute, rigorous coverage that addresses every important scientific, clinical and technical aspect of the field. 70 well-organized chapters encompassing the full scope of mechanical ventilation, including the physical basis of mechanical ventilation; conventional, alternative, noninvasive, and unconventional methods of ventilator support; complications and airway management; ethics and economics

Mechanical Metallurgy

This revised third edition of a bestselling metallurgy text examines the behaviour of materials under stress and their reaction to a variety of hostile environments. It covers the entire scope of mechanical metallurgy, from an understanding of the continuum description of stress and strain, through crystalline and defect mechanisms of flow and fracture, and on to a consideration of major mechanical property tests and the basic metalworking process. It has been updated throughout, SI units have been added, and end-of-chapter study questions are included.

Reliability in Automotive and Mechanical Engineering

Defects generate a great economic problem for suppliers who are faced with increased duties. Customers expect increased efficiency and dependability of technical product of - also growing - complexity. The authors give an introduction to a theory of dependability for engineers. The book may serve as a reference book as well, enhancing the knowledge of the specialists and giving a lot of theoretical background and practical information, especially on the dependability analysis of whole systems.

The theory, concepts and approaches are well explained by examples and solutions. The topics include: Mathematical basis, Life span distributions, System dependability theory, Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), Fault tree analysis, Dependability test planning, Test evaluation, Calculation of repairable systems, Dependability protection programs.

Mechanical Vibrations and Shocks (Volume 1-5)

This five-volume set lays down the theoretical basis for the specification and testing of international standards related to product design. Manufactured product has to be designed to withstand the effects of the environmental factors (temperature, humidity) and also the effects of externally imposed mechanical shocks and vibrations, which might result in fatigue and other damage. This has given rise to the concept of the tailorization of product, leading to the tailorization of tests. Tailorization implies not only an understanding of the effects of the environment, but also presupposes proper understanding of the mechanical systems subjected to mechanical loads, and knowledge of the most frequent failure modes. This is implemented by the use of a simple theoretical model, enabling the effects of shocks and vibrations to be assessed, and the drafting of specifications, pre-sizing calculations and the establishment of rules for analysis and definitions of tests to be developed. Throughout, the theoretical treatments are placed in the context of the real environment and of laboratory tests - essential for the development of standards. The series culminates, in Volume V, in the development of specifications.

Handbook of Mechanical Engineering

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.

Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design 8th .E and Solution

The eighth edition of Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design maintains the basic approaches that have made this book the standard in machine design for over 40 years. At the same time it combines the straightforward focus on fundamentals instructors have come to expect with a modern emphasis on design and new applications. Overall coverage of basic concepts are clear and concise so that readers can easily navigate key topics. Problem sets have been improved, with new problems added to help students progressively work through them. The book has included ARIS, which will have algorithmic problems. The new co-author, Keith Nisbett has been brought on to this project and has added a key case study on power transmission. All standards have been updated, which will make this the most current text! The 8th edition of Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design features a major new case study developed to help illuminate the complexities of shafts and axles. It includes new Finite Elements Chapter - an important modern topic. Parts I and II have been streamlined to improve readability and simplify the presentation without sacrificing content. Part III has been updated to reflect current standards, making this the most current book out in the market in terms of standards.
