Applied Statics and Strength of Materials by Leonard Spiegel,George F. Limbrunner Pdf

The fourth edition ofApplied Statics and Strength of Materialspresents an elementary, analytical, and practical approach to the principles and physical concepts of statics and strength of materials. It is written at an appropriate mathematics level for engineering technology students, using algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. A knowledge of calculus is not required for understanding the text or for working the problems. The book is intended primarily for use in two-year or four-year technology programs in engineering, construction, or architecture. Much of the material has been classroom tested in our Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited engineering technology programs as well as in our American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) accredited construction technology program. The text can also serve as a concise reference guide for undergraduates in a first Engineering Mechanics (Statics) and/or Strength of Materials course in engineering programs. Although written primarily for the technology student, it could also serve as a valuable guide for practicing technologists and technicians as well as for those preparing for state licensing exams for professional registration in engineering, architecture, or construction. The emphasis of the book is on the mastery of basic principles, since it is this mastery that leads to successful solutions of real-life problems. This emphasis is achieved through abundant worked-out examples, a logical and methodical presentation, and a topical selection geared to student needs. The problem-solving method that we emphasize is a consistent, comprehensive, step-by-step approach. The principles and applications (both examples and problems) presented are applicable to many fields of engineering technology, among them civil, mechanical, construction, architectural, industrial, and manufacturing. This fourth edition was prepared with the objective of updating the content where necessary and rearranging and revising some of the material to enhance the teaching aspects of the text. While the primary unit system remains the U.S. Customary System, metric (SI) units continue to be used throughout the text, and the examples and problems reflect a mix of the two measurement systems. The homework problem sets have some additions and some deletions, and some other problems were revised. The book includes the following features: Each chapter is written to introduce more complex material gradually. Problems are furnished at the end of each chapter and are grouped and referenced to a specific section. These are then followed by a group of supplemental problems provided for review purposes. Generally, problems are arranged in order of increasing difficulty. A summary at the end of each chapter presents a thumbnail sketch of the important concepts presented in the chapter. Useful tables of properties of areas and conversion factors for U.S. Customary-SI conversion are printed inside the covers for easy access. Most chapters contain computer problems following the section problems. These problems require students to develop computer programs to solve problems pertinent to the topics of the chapter. Any appropriate computer software may be used. The computer problems are another tool with which to reinforce students' understanding of the concepts under consideration. Answers to selected problems are provided at the back of the text. The primary unit system in this book remains the U.S. Customary system. SI, however, is fully integrated in both the text and the problems. This is a time of transition between unit systems. Much of the new construction work in the public sector (particularly in the transportation field) now uses metric (SI) measurement; full conversion to SI in the technology field in the United States is inevitable and will undoubtedly occur eventually. Technicians and technologists must be familiar with both systems. To make the book self contained, design and analysis aids are furnished in an extensive appendix section. Both U.S. Customary and SI data are presented. Calculus-based proofs are introduced in the appendices. The Instructor's Manual includes complete solutions for all the end-of-chapter problems in the text. There is sufficient material in this book for two semesters of work in statics and strength of materials. In addition, by selecting certain chapters, topics, and problems, the instructor can adapt the book to other situations, such as separate courses in statics (or mechanics) and strength of materials. Thanks are extended to many colleagues, associates, and students who with their enthusiastic encouragement, insightful comments, and constructive criticisms have helped with the input for this edition. A special word of thanks goes to James F. Limbrunner, P.E., for his contributions to the text and help with proofreading and problem sets. Also, appreciation is extended to the reviewers for this edition for their help and constructive suggestions: Elliot Colchamiro, New York City Technical College, and Dorey Diab, Stark State College. And last, my thanks to Jane Limbrunner for her support, patience, and understanding during the term of this project. George F. Limbrunner

Mechanical Technology for Higher Engineering Technicians by Peter Black Pdf

Mechanical Technology for Higher Engineering Technicians deals with the mechanics of machines, thermodynamics, and mechanics of fluids. This book presents discussions and examples that deal with the strength of materials, technology of machines, and techniques used by professional engineers. The book explains the strain energy of torsion, coil springs, and the effects of axial load. The author also discusses the forces that produce bending, shearing, and bending combined with direct stress, as well as beams subjected to a uniform bending moment or simply supported beams with concentrated non-central load. The author explains the equations to determine force in shear stress resulting from a tensile load or how to determine maximum shear stress. He explains Poisson's Ratio, the Mohr Circle, and the theories of Coulomb, Tresca, and Guest. He discusses fluid mechanics, combustion, heat transfer, and troboengineering. He points out that friction between two surfaces causes heat: to avoid the rise in temperature, the two surfaces can be 1) separated with the use of lubricants or bearings, or 2) use of low friction materials. He also discusses the equations used for proportional control, derivative control, and integral control. This book is intended for candidates at the HNC in Mechanical Engineering for qualification as engineering technicians.

Mechanics of Materials Laboratory Course by Ghatu Zimmerman,Shannon Ridgeway Pdf

This book is designed to provide lecture notes (theory) and experimental design of major concepts typically taught in most Mechanics of Materials courses in a sophomore- or junior-level Mechanical or Civil Engineering curriculum. Several essential concepts that engineers encounter in practice, such as statistical data treatment, uncertainty analysis, and Monte Carlo simulations, are incorporated into the experiments where applicable, and will become integral to each laboratory assignment. Use of common strain (stress) measurement techniques, such as strain gages, are emphasized. Application of basic electrical circuits, such as Wheatstone bridge for strain measurement, and use of load cells, accelerometers, etc., are employed in experiments. Stress analysis under commonly applied loads such as axial loading (compression and tension), shear loading, flexural loading (cantilever and four-point bending), impact loading, adhesive strength, creep, etc., are covered. LabVIEW software with relevant data acquisition (DAQ) system is used for all experiments. Two final projects each spanning 2-3 weeks are included: (i) flexural loading with stress intensity factor determination and (ii) dynamic stress wave propagation in a slender rod and determination of the stress-strain curves at high strain rates. The book provides theoretical concepts that are pertinent to each laboratory experiment and prelab assignment that a student should complete to prepare for the laboratory. Instructions for securing off-the-shelf components to design each experiment and their assembly (with figures) are provided. Calibration procedure is emphasized whenever students assemble components or design experiments. Detailed instructions for conducting experiments and table format for data gathering are provided. Each lab assignment has a set of questions to be answered upon completion of experiment and data analysis. Lecture notes provide detailed instructions on how to use LabVIEW software for data gathering during the experiment and conduct data analysis.
