Böcker i Mechanical Engineering Series-serien

This book concerns the most up-to-date advances in computational transport phenomena (CTP), an emerging tool for the design of gas-solid processes such as fluidized bed systems.

This fully revised and updated third edition covers the physical and mathematical fundamentals of vibration analysis, including single degree of freedom, multi-degree of freedom, and continuous systems. A new chapter on special topics that include motion control, impact dynamics, and nonlinear dynamics is added to the new edition.

Now available in this fourth edition which reflects recent advances in robotic systems and covers a range of current issues, the text has been revised to make it more accessible to novice readers. It includes up-to-date imagery of the latest robot models.

Overviews manufacturing systems from the ground up, following the same concept as in the first edition. Delves into the fundamental building blocks of manufacturing systems: manufacturing processes and equipment.

Unlike other treatments of sensors or actuators, this book approaches the devices from the point of view of the fundamental coupling mechanism between the electrical and mechanical behaviour. It begins with a discussion of systems analysis as a tool for modelling transducers, before turning to a detailed discussion of transduction mechanisms.

This comprehensive text discusses both the classical approach to vibration and the modern approach through dynamical systems theory. It includes modernized notation, recent developments in the field, case studies and problems set for students.

Fundamentals of Combustion Processes is a textbook for an advanced undergraduate and graduate-level combustion course in mechanical engineering. The text focuses on the fundamental theory of combustion and provides a simplified discussion of basic combustion parameters and processes.

modal balancing, influence coefficient balancing and the Unified Balancing Approach. This information is supplemented and supported through a presentation of the theoretical development of synchronous rotor vibration and a brief overview of rigid rotor balancing techniques and machines.

This book covers both theoretical and practical aspects of thermal contact conductance. It includes numerous new heat transfer applications and describes a generalized approach for determining solid spot conductance.

This undergraduate textbook offers an introduction to automotive engineering. It covers all aspects of present automotive technology, describes the historical evolution of the technology, and supplies tools to analyze vehicle performance.

Servo Motors and Industrial Control Theory presents the fundamentals of servo motors and control theory in a manner that is accessible to undergraduate students, as well as practitioners who may need updated information on the subject.
