A primary objective in a first course in mechanics is to help develop a student's ability first to analyze problems in a simple and logical manner, and then to apply basic principles to their solutions. A strong conceptual understanding of these basic mechanics principles is essential for successful…
The new edition of Fundamentals of Aerodynamics follows in the same tradition as the previous editions: it is for students—to be read, understood, and enjoyed. It is consciously written in a clear, informal, and direct style to talk to the reader and gain their interest in the challenging and yet …
To prepare materials engineers and scientists of the future, Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering is designed to present diverse topics in the field with appropriate breadth and depth. The strength of the book is in its focus on key concepts in science of materials (basic knowledge) fo…
Anderson's Introduction to Flight is designed for first or second-year engineering students and any reader looking for an introduction to aerospace engineering. It is written in an intentionally easy-to-understand style. Readers are introduced to the basic areas of aerodynamics, flight dynamics, pr…
Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences, Sixth Edition, is an abbreviated version of standard thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer texts, covering topics that the majority of engineering students will need in their professional lives. The text is well-suited for curriculums that have a …
The fifth edition in SI units of Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences presents a balanced coverage of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer packaged in a manner suitable for use in introductory thermal sciences courses. By emphasizing the physics and underlying physical phenomena invo…
Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design isintended for students beginning the study of mechanical engineering design.Students will find that the text inherently directs them into familiarity withboth the basics of design decisions and the standards of industrial components.It combines the straightfo…
