"Autocad 2011: A Problem Solving Approach" is the ideal book for a progression from the rudiments of AutoCAD[registered] to the advanced concepts of 3D modeling and customization. This is a comprehensive resource with problems in each chapter that will challenge you, whether you are a student or already a professional, to think beyond step-by-step approaches and will teach you the 'whys' and 'hows' behind using AutoCAD[registered] to solve drafting and design problems. Catering to the basic needs of beginners as well as to the advanced requirements of industry professionals, detailed explanations of AutoCAD[registered] 2011 commands and enhancements will enable you to take maximum advantage of Autodesk's[registered] newest and most essential software features.

Learning what the most common errors are in creating or reading engineering drawings--and then learning how to avoid them altogether--has untold benefits for all engineers, technicians and draftsmen, be they mechanical engineers, product designers, manufacturing engineers, structural engineers, machinists, or others involved the technical graphic information for component, machines and systems. Based on a reference worked developed for engineers and technicicans at Lockheed Martin, readers will find invaluable tips on:

How to understand the data on a drawing

How to avoid dimension and tolerance errors

How to select the proper drawing type for a given engineering objective

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.

Text in Arabic. Originally written in the 400s (Al Hijri calendar), scientist Abul Wafaa Muhammad Bin Muhammad Al Bouzjany illustrated the fundamentals of geometric drawing using the ruler, compass and set square simply and easily, regardless of the proofs and reasons. This text includes 172 geometric issues, mostly belonging to two-dimensional plain geometry and three-dimensional spherical geometry. A fascinating historical study and important reference guide for modern-day engineers and designers working in the field of engineering and handicrafts constituting the basis of Islamic architecture.

A current, comprehensive and lavishly illustrated introduction to the fundamental skills needed for architectural drafting. Contains material about drafting equipment and office procedures along with the evolution of construction documents and construction techniques. This revision includes new case studies, new chapters on agencies and codes, and tenant improvement. Features more than 800 illustrations.
