Mechanical Engineering

This book deals with the special class of mechatronics that has enabled the exceptional levels of accuracy and speed of high-tech equipment applied in the semiconductor industry, realising the continuous shrink in detailing of micro-electronics and MEMS. As well as the more frequently presented standard subjects of dynamics, motion control, electronics and electromechanics, this book includes an overview of systems engineering, optics and precision measurement systems, in an attempt to establish a connection between these fields under one umbrella.

This text examines the design technologies and developments in refrigeration systems. Topics discussed include sorption refrigeration systems; improving the performance of heat pumps in air-conditioning plants by using membrane contactor dehumidification/regeneration systems; the correct size of the condenser as one of the significant issues for the optimal performance of refrigerating and air conditioning systems; prototyping and experimental evaluation of an air filtration system; and irreversible estimation possibilities of an absorption refrigeration cycle.

The'Advances in Engineering Mechanic'book series draws together recent significant advances in various topics in engineering mechanics. “Advances in Engineering Mechanics” aims to provide both authoritative review and research articles on topics in the mechanical sciences, primarily of interest to scientists and engineers working in the various branches of mechanics, but also of interest to the many who use the results of investigations in mechanics in various application areas such as aerospace, chemical, civil, environmental, mechanical and nuclear engineering.

Mechanical engineering is an engineering discipline that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. This book presents current research in the field of mechanical engineering, including the fatigue and residual stresses during welding of titanium alloys; aircraft engineering and bird strike analysis; modeling to predict ultra-low cycle fatigue fracture of steel bridges; marine engine emissions and the fatigue behavior of composites processed by resin transfer molding processes.

AN INTRODUCTION TO MECHANICAL ENGINEERING introduces students to the ever-emerging field of mechanical engineering, giving an appreciation for how engineers design the hardware that builds and improves societies all around the world. Intended for students in their first or second year of a typical college or university program in mechanical engineering or a closely related field, the text balances the treatments of technical problem-solving skills, design, engineering analysis, and modern technology.
