This book is a useful reference work for practicing engineers in their evaluation and design of systems for the control of the industrial in-plant environment.  Meer

Discusses all the major aspects of automotive and engine lubrication - presenting state-of-the-art advances in the field from both research and industrial perspectives.  Meer

These proceedings of EXPLOMET 90, the International Conference on the Materials Effects of Shock-Wave and High-Strain-Rate Phenomena, held August 1990, in La Jolla, California, represent a global and up-to-date appraisal of this field.  Meer

On the job or in the field, when facing a problem with differential equations and boundary conditions, most likely you don’t have time to read through several publications in search of a method that may or may not solve your problem.  Meer

Maintaining a question-and-answer format, this second edition provides simplified means of solving nearly 200 practical problems that confront engineers involved in the planning, design, operation and maintenance of steam plant systems.  Meer

This book demonstrates how to control mechanisms of contact mechanics, heat generation and transfer, friction, noise generation, lubrication, and surface damage due to mechanical and thermal variables.  Meer

This work describes the technology necessary to optimize the performance of any refractory lining. It provides an overview of the thermomechanical behaviour and wear of refractory lining systems, and details the structural behaviour of several classical refractory geometries, highlighting the critical regions of each lining system where high stress is most likely to create fractures.  Meer

Fundamentals of Robotics presents the basic concepts of robots to engineering and technology students and to practicing engineers who want to grasp the fundamentals in the growing field of robotics.  Meer

This book provides the methods of solving the problems connected with cams—their design, application, and manufacture. It introduces the improvement of numerically controlled machine tools and the availability of computers in general.  Meer

This book presents to the design engineer the transducers and measurement techniques available, and evaluates their features and drawbacks. It is written for the instrument and systems designer, not the theoretician.  Meer

This book guides designers, process engineers, or mechanics to select and use anaerobic machinery adhesives for sealing flanged joints, designing threaded connections for security and sealing, and designing adhesive assists for more durable shrink, press, and slip fitted assemblies.  Meer

A realization of recent clean energy initiatives, fluidized bed combustion (FBC) has quickly won industry preference due to its ability to burn materials as diverse as low-grade coals, biomass, and industrial and municipal waste.  Meer

This book summarizes basic lubrication theory, its types and properties, and covers some specific applications of lubrication: diesel and petrol engines, hydraulics, compressors, machine tools and cutting oils.  Meer

During the eight years since the publication of Maintenance Excellence: Optimizing Equipment Life-Cycle Decisions the business environment has changed drastically.  Meer

Boundary Methods: Elements, Contours, and Nodes presents the results of cutting-edge research in boundary-based mesh-free methods. These methods combine the dimensionality advantage of the boundary element method with the ease of discretization of mesh-free methods, both of which, for some problems, hold distinct advantages over the finite element method.  Meer

As the most important parts of rotating machinery, rotors are also the most prone to mechanical vibrations, which may lead to machine failure. Correction is only possible when proper and accurate diagnosis is obtained through understanding of rotor operation and all of the potential malfunctions that may occur.  Meer

Filling a gap in the literature, Practical Engineering Failure Analysis vividly demonstrates the correct methodology to conduct successful failure analyses, as well as offering the background necessary for these investigations.  Meer

This compact, on-the-job handbook provides all the practical and theoreticalinformation to design elastomeric O-ring seals for the full range of static,reciprocating, and rotary functions.  Meer

This book introduces the reader to each phase of the subject, step-by-step to enable one to use the various automated drafting devices, instruments and technique of application.  Meer

This book describes the concepts and methods of a discipline called design assurance, and reveals many nontechnical aspects that are necessary for getting the work done in an engineering department.  Meer
