Product Description

Everyday Engineers must solve some of the most difficult design problems and often with little time and money to spare. It was with this in mind that this book was designed. Based on the best selling Mark’s Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, Mark’s Standard Engineering Calculations For Machine Design offers a detailed treatment of topics in statics, friction, kinematics, dynamics, energy relations, impulse and momentum, systems of particles, variable mass systems, and three-dimensional rigid body analysis. Among the advanced topics are spherical coordinates, shear modulus tangential unit vector tension, deformable media, and torsion (twisting).

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MACHINE DESIGN CALCULATIONS

This information-packed reference is the perfect bridge between the principles outlined in textbooks and the challenges of engineering practice. Engineer and educator Thomas H. Brown, Jr.'s new book offers problem-solving techniques, formulas, and tabular data in a convenient, quick lookup format. Developed and expanded out of material in McGraw-Hill's best-selling Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, this unique resource provides complete step-by-step help with:

• Basic to advanced calculation procedures
• Examples of solved problems in both U.S. customary and SI/metric units
• Calculations for fundamental, advanced, and combined loadings on machine elements
• Problem-solving techniques and calculations for static and dynamic design, including fatigue and column buckling
• Advanced problems for bolted and welded connections, springs, flywheels, gear trains, and more
• Easy-to-use tables, charts, listings, and formulas

About the Author
Thomas H. Brown, Jr., Ph.D., PE, manages the Fundamentals of Engineering Review Program and the Civil Engineering Professional Engineering Review Program at the Institute for Transportation Research and Education at North Carolina State University. Dr. Brown has taught review courses for the Mechanical Engineering Professional Engineering Review Program offered by the Industrial Extension Service and taught undergraduate machine design courses for almost a dozen years in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, both in the College of Engineering at North Carolina State University.

Customer Reviews

Excellent book, textbook and reference.
This book is so far one of the best technical books, I've ever had.
The material is so well presented and organized, that it is hard to find in any other books.
The author has presented the material with clarity, conciseness and problems that logically follow the material.
It is a very good material for mechanical engineers preparing in Machine Design portion of PE exam.

I hope the author has in mind to create books like this for ohter mechanical engineering related disciplines, like thermo and fluids.

I'd say this is a must book for every single mechanical engineer.
