Nuclear engineering plays an important role in various industrial, health care, and energy processes. Modern physics has generated its fundamental principles. A growing number of students and practicing engineers need updated material to access the technical language and content of nuclear principles.

"Nuclear Principles in Engineering, Second Edition" is written for students, engineers, physicians and scientists who need up-to-date information in basic nuclear concepts and calculation methods using numerous examples and illustrative computer application areas.

This new edition features a modern graphical interpretation of the phenomena described in the book fused with the results from research and new applications of nuclear engineering, including but not limited to nuclear engineering, power engineering, homeland security, health physics, radiation treatment and imaging, radiation shielding systems, aerospace and propulsion engineering, and power production propulsion.

Strength Analysis in Geomechanics

Strength Analysis in Geomechanics
Serguey A. Elsoufiev | 2009-01-01 00:00:00 | Springer | 258 | Mechanical Engineering
The book presents a new approach for the solution of geomechanical problems - it explicitly takes into account deformation and fracture in time, which are neglected in classical methods although these properties create important effects. The method reveals the influence of the form of a structure on its ultimate state. It uses the rheological law which accounts for large strains at a non-linear unsteady creep, an influence of a stress state type, an initial anisotropy and damage. The whole approach takes into account five types of non-linearity (physical as well as geometrical ones) and contains several new ideas. For example, it considers the fracture as a process, the difference between the body and an element of the material which only deforms and fails because it is in the structure, the simplicity of some non-linear computations against the consequent linear ones, the dependence of the maximum small strain in dangerous poins of the body only on the material.

Professor Elsoufiev included many new solutions of non-linear geotechnical problems to this second edition.

Geometric and Engineering Drawing, Second Edition

Geometric and Engineering Drawing, Second Edition
K. Morling | 1974-12-15 00:00:00 | Butterworth-Heinemann; 2 edition (Reprinted 2003) | 216 | Mechanical Engineering
Geometric and Engineering Drawing is an established text suitable for GCSE and basic engineering courses. This book aims to cover the whole range of subject matter relevant to introductory courses in technical drawing, with diagrams free of irrelevant information and a large number of examples of an appropriate standard, many of them taken from past examination papers.

Topics are introduced in a logical order so that all the necessary background knowledge will already have been presented before any particular problem or technique is discussed. Both first-angle and third-angle projection are used, although third-angle predominates, reflecting its increased acceptance in industry and education.

Design of Machinery: An Introduction to the Synthesis and Analysis of Mechanisms and Machines, 2nd Edition

Design of Machinery: An Introduction to the Synthesis and Analysis of Mechanisms and Machines, 2nd Edition
Robert L. Norton | 1998-01-01 00:00:00 | McGraw-Hill; 2nd edition | 808 | Mechanical Engineering
Note: CD-ROM is not included.

Design of Machinery has established itself as the best-selling text for courses in Machine Dynamic and Kinematics, taken by mechanical engineering students in their junior and senior year. The book is praised for its friendly writing style, clear exposition of difficult topics, thorough and relevant coverage, its emphasis on synthesis and design, and its useful computer programs. The foremost goal of the author is to convey the art of the design process to prepare students for genuine engineering problems encountered in professional practice. While both thorough and complete on the topics of analysis, the book also emphasizes the synthesis and design aspects of the subject to a greater degree than any other similar book on the market today. Analytical synthesis of linkages is covered and cam design is given a more thorough and practical treatment than in any other text.

Now this New Media Version of The Design of Machinery combines all of the latest technology while retaining everything that made the second edition so popular. The book is now packaged with a CD-ROM that is full of new enhancements and multimedia additions.

Reviews

Summary: REALLY GOOD BOOK
Rating: 5

This book has a really good coverage of mechanical components with good emphasis on manufacturing considerations. It is the bible of machine elements!

Summary: Terse, enlightening, and very well written.
Rating: 4

The book is very well illustrated and the approach taken to solve the problems is very consistent. The chapter on internal combustion engine analysis is a very good example of simple mechanisms in action. A must for students and engineers who would like to understand the principle behind mechanisms analysis.
