Mechanical Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that involvesthe application of principles of physics for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. It requires a solid understanding of key concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy. Mechanical engineers use these principles and others for example in the design and analysis of automobiles, aircrafts, heating and cooling systems, industrial equipment and machinery. In addition to these main areas, specialized fields are offered at universities to prepare future engineers for their position in industry, such as: mechatronics and robotics, transportation and logistics, cryogenics, fuel technology, automotive engineering, biomechanics, vibration, optics and others. Accordingly, the Springer Handbook of Mechanical Engineering devotes its contents to these areas of interest for the practicing engineer as wellas for the student at various levels and educational institutions. MechanicalEngineering for the globally working engineer Includes all mechanical engineering disciplines Detailed and informative two-color illustrations and tables Written by internationally renowned experts INDICE: Part A Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering.- Part B Applications in Mechanical Engineering.- Part C Complementary Material for Mechanical Engineers.- About the Authors.- Subject Index.
