Design of Machine Elements is a textbook designed for the undergraduate mechanical engineering students. Being one of the best sellers on the subject, the book aims to provide detailed discussions on the principles, design considerations and applications of various machine elements. It uses simple language, illustrations, and numerous examples with an outcome-based learning approach.

Polymer Composite Systems for Pipeline Repair: Design, Manufacture, Application, and Environmental Impacts delivers the latest developments in nanomaterials, specifically polymers and composites that can support pipeline repair in an effective and more environmentally-sound way.

Written primarily to support a Junior-Senior level sequence of courses in Mechanical Engineering Design, this text takes the viewpoint that failure prevention is the cornerstone concept underlying all mechanical design activity.

 The text is presented in two parts, Part I--Engineering Principles, containing 7 chapters, and Part II--Design Applications, containing 13 chapters.

This book covers designing of various machine elements and serves as a reference for mechanical designing of machine elements in academia and industry. 

It provides information on designing approaches and several examples and problems, enabling readers to make all of their required calculations for their specific mechanical design or fabrication tasks by using the book’s plots (graphs), instead of complicated formulas.

The definitive guide to airport planning and management―fully updated with the latest advances in the industry.
This thoroughly revised guide covers all aspects of airport infrastructure―from the airfield and runway to airspace, air traffic control, and terminal and security systems.

First published in 1979, Airport Engineering by Ashford and Wright, has become a classic textbook in the education of airport engineers and transportation planners. Over the past twenty years, construction of new airports in the US has waned as construction abroad boomed. 

This new edition of Airport Engineering will respond to this shift in the growth of airports globally, with a focus on the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), while still providing the best practices and tested fundamentals that have made the book successful for over 30 years.

Airport design and operation are always closely related. A poor design affects the airport operations, resulting in increased costs, and a sound understanding of operation is needed to enable good design. The aim of this third edition is to present an updated and integrated approach to the two. 

Airports are components of the air transport system together with the ATC (Air Traffic Control), and airlines. Many existing airports have been confronted with increasing requirements for providing the sufficient airside and landside capacity to accommodate generally growing but increasingly volatile and uncertain air transport demand, efficiently, effectively, and safely.

This undergraduate textbook offers a unique introduction to steady flight and performance for fixed-wing aircraft from a twenty-first-century flight systems perspective. Emphasizing the interplay between mathematics and engineering, it fully explains the fundamentals of aircraft flight and develops the basic algebraic equations needed to obtain the conditions for gliding flight, level flight, climbing and descending flight, and turning flight.

Much-needed, fresh approach that brings a greater insight into the physical understanding of aerodynamics
