This series serves as a cornerstone for students and professionals in mechanical engineering. It meticulously covers a broad spectrum of topics, moving from fundamental principles to advanced applications. Readers gain deep theoretical knowledge alongside practical insights into contemporary engineering challenges. It is an indispensable resource for understanding and innovating within this dynamic field.
This text is intended for the core course in mechanics or strength of materials which is generally taught at the sophomore or junior level. The book also provides problems, most of which are new in this edition. Tutorial software accompanies each book.
The spectral theory of linear operators plays a key role in the mathematical formulation of quantum theory. This textbook provides a concise and comprehensible introduction to the spectral theory of (unbounded) self-adjoint operators and its application in quantum dynamics. Many examples and exercises are included that focus on quantum mechanics.
Focusing on strength and mechanics of materials, this updated second edition serves as a comprehensive resource for mechanical design. It emphasizes practical techniques and effectively connects theoretical concepts to real-world applications, making it an essential tool for advanced engineering students and professionals alike.
Examines the behaviour of materials under stress and their reaction to a variety of hostile environments. This book covers mechanical metallurgy, from an understanding of the continuum description of stress and strain, through crystalline and defect mechanisms of flow and fracture, and on to a consideration of major mechanical property tests.
The seventh edition of White's Fluid Mechanics offers students a clear and comprehensive presentation of the material that demonstrates the progression from physical concepts to engineering applications and helps students quickly see the practical importance of fluid mechanics fundamentals. The wide variety of topics gives instructors many options for their course and is a useful resource to students long after graduation.The book's unique problem-solving approach is presented at the start of the book and carefully integrated in all examples. Students can progress from general ones to those involving design, multiple steps and computer usage.
