Mechanical Engineering Design, Third Edition, SI Version strikes a balance between theory and application, and prepares students for more advanced study or professional practice. Updated throughout, it outlines basic concepts and provides the necessary theory to gain insight into mechanics with numerical methods in design. Divided into three sections, the text presents background topics, addresses failure prevention across a variety of machine elements, and covers the design of machine components as well as entire machines.

Ugural's Mechanical Design: An Integrated Approach provides a comprehensive, integrated view of machine element design for Mechanical Engineering students and practicing engineers. The author's expertise in engineering mechanics is demonstrated in Part I (Fundamentals), where readers receive an exceptionally strong treatment of the design process, stress & strain, deflection & stiffness, energy methods, and failure/fatigue criteria. Advanced topics in mechanics (marked with an asterisk in the Table of Contents) are provided for optional use.

Fundamentals of Machine Component Design presents a thorough introduction to the concepts and methods essential to mechanical engineering design, analysis, and application. In-depth coverage of major topics, including free body diagrams, force flow concepts, failure theories, and fatigue design, are coupled with specific applications to bearings, springs, brakes, clutches, fasteners, and more for a real-world functional body of knowledge.

Brand new 2014 edition – From hot rolls to cold saws the G.L. Huyett Engineering Handbook provides a fresh perspective on steelmaking from iron ore to finished product. 

With 144 pages of informative content you'll learn about the steelmaking process, different grades of steel and finishes, testing steel hardness, heat treating steel, and mechanical properties of steel. Bonus features include manufacturing case studies and metric/imperial conversion charts.

Machine design is one of the important subjects in mechanical engineering and a thorough knowledge of the design aspects of machine elements is essential for all design engineers. Working out the design of a machine as a whole, or its components, usually involvesthe use of several formulae, graphs, standard tables and other relevant data.

 Availability of all such information in one handbook not only eliminates the unnecessary task ot remembering the required formulae and equations, but also helps design engineers to solve the problems in machine design quickly and efficiently.

The primary goal of Design of Machine Elements is to provide comprehensive design methods with various other important topics like stress concentration and its mitigation the concept of fatigue strength. In the later chapters of the book design of keys is presented along with cotter and knuckle joints riveted joints, boiler joints, lozenge joints and power screws design. 

Describes twenty-one of the most important and commonly used additives
A Concise Introduction to Additives for Thermoplastic Polymers focuses on additives for thermoplastic polymers and describes 21 of the most important and commonly used additives from Plasticizers and Fillers to Optical Brighteners and Anti-Microbial additives. It also includes chapters on safety and hazards, and prediction of service time models.

This book covers all aspects of the history, physical metallurgy, corrosion behavior, cost factors and current and potential uses of titanium. The history of titanium is traced from its early beginnings through the work of Kroll, to the present day broadening market place. Extensive detail on extraction processes is discussed, as well as the various beta to alpha transformations and and details of the powder metallurgy techniques. The relationship of microstructure to mechanical properties, and the topic of corrosion are described in detail.

Between 2003 and 2006, the price of titanium more than doubled. The authors attempt to answer four primary questions: What triggered this price surge? What are titanium1s future market prospects and emerging technologies? What are the implications for the production cost of future military airframes? How might the Department of Defense mitigate the economic risks involved in the titanium market?

Computer-based modelling of material properties and microstructure is a very fast growing area of research and the use of titanium is growing rapidly in many applications. The book will link the modelling of microstructure and properties to titanium. The first part of the book reviews experimental techniques for modelling the microstructure and properties of titanium. A second group of chapters looks in depth at the physical models and a third group examines neural network models. 

The final section covers surface engineering products.
