Description
The
Mechanical Engineer's Handbook was developed and written specifically to fill a need for mechanical engineers and
mechanical engineering students throughout the world. With over 1000 pages, 550 illustrations, and 26 tables the
Mechanical Engineer's
Handbook is very comprehensive, yet affordable, compact, and durable. The Handbook covers all major areas of mechanical engineering
with succinct coverage of the definitions, formulas, examples, theory, proofs, and explanations of all principle subject areas. The
Handbook
is an essential, practical companion for all mechanical engineering students with core coverage of nearly all relevant courses included.
Also, anyone preparing for the engineering licensing examinations will find this handbook to be an invaluable aid. Useful analytical
techniques provide the student and practicing engineer with powerful tools for mechanical design.
This book is designed to be a
portable reference with a depth of coverage not found in "pocketbooks" of formulas and definitions and without the verbosity, high price,
and excessive size of the huge encyclopedic handbooks. If an engineer needs a quick reference for a wide array of information, yet does
not have a full library of textbooks or does not want to spend the extra time and effort necessary to search and carry a six pound handbook,
this book is for them.
