Hydraulics and Pneumatics A Technician’s and Engineer’s Guide Second Edition By Andrew Parr

Description Nearly all industrial processes require objects to be moved, manipulated or subjected to some sort of force. This is frequently accomplished by means of electrical equipment (such as motors or solenoids), or via devices driven by air (pneumatics) or liquids (hydraulics). This book has been written by a process control engineer as a guide to the operation of hydraulic and pneumatic systems for all engineers and technicians who wish to have an insight into the components and operation of such a system. This second edition has been fully updated…

Computer Aided Design and Design Automation The Circuits and Filters Handbook Third Edition By Wai Kai Chen

Introduction This volume of The Circuits and Filters Handbook, Third Edition focuses on computer-aided design and design automation. In the first part of the book, international contributors address topics such as the modeling of circuit performances, symbolic analysis methods, numerical analysis methods, design by optimization, statistical design optimization, and physical design automation. In the second half of the text, they turn their attention to RF CAD, high-performance simulation, formal verification, RTK behavioral synthesis, system-level design, an Internet-based micro-electronic design automation framework, performance modeling, and embedded computing systems design.

The Elements of Mechanical Design By James G. Skakoon

From one of the authors of The Unwritten Laws of Engineering and The Unwritten Laws of Business, this concise and readable book is an excellent primer or refresher for any professional interested in the basic principles and practices of good mechanical design. In this handy and unique volume the author uses his own experience, along with input from other expert designers, to explicitly state design principles and practices. Readers will not have to discover these principles on their own and will be able to apply these fundamental concepts throughout their…

Mechanical Design Second edition By Peter R. N. Childs

Description This book introduces the subject of total design and introduces the design and selection of various common mechanical engineering components and machine elements. These provide “building blocks”, with which the engineer can practice his or her art. The approach adopted for defining design follows that developed by the SEED (Sharing Experience in Engineering Design) programme where design is viewed as “the total activity necessary to provide a product or process to meet a market need.” Within this framework, the book concentrates on developing detailed mechanical design skills in the…

Solving Engineering Problems in Dynamics By Michael B. Spektor

INTRODUCTION Purposeful control and improvement of how existing mechanical systems perform is an important real-life problem, as is the development of new systems. We can obtain solutions to these problems by investigating the working processes of machines and their units and elements. These investigations should be based on fundamentals of dynamics combined with a variety of related sciences. The working processes that characterize system performance can be described by mathematical expressions that actually represent equations of motion of these systems. Analyzing these equations of motion reveals the relationship between the…
