Theory, Practice and Techniques in Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering has been around for a very long time emerged as a field during the industrial revolution in Europe in the 18th century; conversely, its development can be traced back several thousand years around the world. Mechanical engineering science developed in the 19th century as a result of developments in the field of physics. The field has frequently progressed to incorporate advancements in technology, and mechanical engineers today are pursuing developments in such fields as composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology. It has grown extremely over the years and has been an essential part in shaping our world today. Mechanical engineers over the next two decades will be called upon to develop technologies that foster a cleaner, healthier, safer and sustainable global environment. According to the ASME report, 2028 Vision for Mechanical Engineering, mechanical engineers will need to work together with partners worldwide so as to apply innovative solutions and best practices to improve quality of life for all people. Mechanical engineers are typically involved with the generation, distribution, and use of energy; the processing of materials; the control and automation of manufacturing systems; the design and development of machines; and the solutions to environmental problems.

This book “Theory, Practice and Techniques in Mechanical Engineering” gives all the fundamentals of materials and design for important mechanical engineering applications and components such as connections, springs, couplings, bearings, drives, gears, piping, heat exchangers, and condensers. This book introduces mechanical principles and technology through examples and applications, enabling students to develop a sound understanding of both engineering principles and techniques. With a focus on electromechanical systems in a variety of fields, this accessible introductory text brings the coverage of electrical mechanical devices used today. In today’s world, there is a tremendous growth in technology. Students, Researchers, Academicians, Professional Engineers, Industrialists have to keep themselves abreast of the emerging trends in this field.
