Informationen zum Autor MYER KUTZ holds engineering degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He has worked with numerous professional and technical publishing houses as an executive or consultant and is the author or editor of more than 15 engineering reference books. Klappentext The original concept behind publishing the Mechanical Engineers' Handbook was to provide a single source for all critical information needed by mechanical engineers in the diverse industries and job functions they find themselves. No single engineer can be a specialist in all areas that they are called on to work and the handbook provides a quick guide to specialized areas so that the engineer can know the basics and where to go for further reading. Kutz's handbook was positioned to provide discussion, examples, and analysis of the topics covered as opposed to the straight data, formulas and calculations provided by other handbooks.Because of the widening breadth of subjects covered and specialization required from engineers we have divided the content beyond the single book to four separate, but related books. This first book covers Materials and Mechanical Design. Other books cover; Electronics/MEMS/Instrumentation & Control; Manufacturing & Management; and Energy & Power. Each book is sold separately or in combination with other volumes as the market requires. Zusammenfassung The engineer's ready reference for mechanical power and heat Mechanical Engineer's Handbook provides the most comprehensive coverage of the entire discipline, with a focus on explanation and analysis.
