Originally published in 1903, this book is a comprehensively detailed guide to technical drawing and machine design. The authors have provided a large number of dimensioned illustrations as examples, illustrations of a great variety of machine details, many rules and tables of proportion and numerous examples showing the application of the principles of mechanics to the calculation of the proportions of parts of machines. The book is packed with illustrations and diagrams and is still of much practical use to today's draughtsman and designer.Contents Include: Various Principles of Mechanics Strength and Nature of Materials Used in Machine Construction Screws, Bolts and Nuts Keys Cotters Pipes and Pipe Joints Shafting and Shaft Couplings Supports for Shafts Belt Gearing Rope Gearing Wire-Rope Gearing Friction Gearing Toothed Gearing Cranks, Cranked Shafts, and Eccentrics Connecting-Rods Cross-Heads and Guides Pistons and Piston-Rods Stuffing-Boxes Valves Riveted Joints Steam Boilers Steam Boilers, General Dimensions Examples of Triple-Expansion Marine Engines Example of Locomotive Engine

This compact texbook presents a solid fundamental treatment of the essential comcepts of technical drawing that can be taught in one semester of the engineering courses both at degree and diploma levels.

This book presents concise explanations of the subject's general principles and uses worked examples freely to expand the text. Each example shows the method of obtaining the solution and includes additional explanatory notes. For some topics, where it would have been difficult to understand a solution given on a single drawing, the solution has been drawn in step-by-step form. All the figures used conform to the recommendations of BS 308: 1972. Engineering Drawing with Worked Examples 1 and 2 together provide a background course for technician students, but will be equally useful for any engineering drawing course.

The processes of manufacture and assembly are based on the communication of engineering information via drawing. These drawings follow rules laid down in national and international standards. The organisation responsible for the international rules is the International Standards Organisation (ISO). There are hundreds of ISO standards on engineering drawing because drawing is very complicated and accurate transfer of information must be guaranteed. The information contained in an engineering drawing is a legal specification, which contractor and sub-contractor agree to in a binding contract. The ISO standards are designed to be independent of any one language and thus much symbology is used to overcome any reliance on any language. Companies can only operate efficiently if they can guarantee the correct transmission of engineering design information for manufacturing and assembly.
This book is a short introduction to the subject of engineering drawing for manufacture. It should be noted that standards are updated on a 5-year rolling programme and therefore students of engineering drawing need to be aware of the latest standards. This book is unique in that it introduces the subject of engineering drawing in the context of standards.

This book is an integrated approach to kinematic and dynamic analysis. The matrix techniques presented are general and fully applicable to two- or three-dimensional systems. They lend themselves to programming and digital computation and can act as the basis of a usable tool for designers. Techniques have broad applicability to the design analysis of all multibody mechanical systems. The more powerful and more flexible the approach, and the less specialisation and reprogramming required for each application, the better. The matrix methods presented have been developed using these ideas as primary goals. Matrix methods can be applied by hand to such problems as the slider-crank mechanism, but this is not the intent of this text, and often the rigor required for such an attempt becomes quite burdensome in comparison with other techniques. The matrix methods have been extensively tested, both in the classroom and in the world of engineering industry.

An engineer's survival guide
Geotechnical and civil engineers, this is one book you can't afford to be without. The first and only complete guide to subsurface engineering risk management, Subsurface Conditions arms you with the knowledge and expertise you need to prevail over one of the greatest challenges you face--professional liability.
Writing in logical, concise language that is easy to grasp, engineering and legal professionals from some of America's top firms share what they know about all nontechnical aspects of underground construction. With the help of many instructive case studies, they guide you through the essential ins and outs of contracts, insurance, risk exposure, liability allocation, dispute resolution, and more. And--just as importantly--they provide guidelines and action steps for identifying and avoiding foreseeable professional hazards as well as surviving the unforeseen.
