In the last decade, the number of complex problems facing
engineers has increased, and the technical knowledge required to
address and mitigate them continues to evolve rapidly. These
problems include not only the design of engineering systems with
numerous components and subsystems, but also the design, redesign,
and interaction of social, political, managerial, commercial,
biological, medical, and other systems. These systems are likely to
be dynamic and adaptive in nature. Finding creative solutions to
such large-scale, unstructured problems requires activities that
cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Engineering Mechanics and Design Applications: Transdisciplinary
Engineering Fundamentals presents basic engineering mechanics
concepts in the context of the engineering design process. It
provides non-mechanical engineers with the knowledge needed to
understand the mechanical aspects of a project, making it easier to
collaborate in transdisciplinary teams.
Combining statics, dynamics, vibrations, and strength of
materials in one volume, the book offers a practical reference for
engineering design. It begins with an overview of Prevention
through Design (PtD), providing a broad understanding of
occupational safety and health needs in the design process. It then
presents condensed introductions to engineering statics,
engineering dynamics, and solid mechanics as well as failure
theories and dynamic loadings. Examples of real-life design
analysis and applications demonstrate how transdisciplinary
engineering knowledge can be applied in practice.
A concise introduction to mechanics and design, the book is
suitable for nonengineering students who need to understand the
fundamentals of engineering mechanics, as well as for engineering
students preparing for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam.
Professional engineers, researchers, and scientists in
non-mechanical engineering disciplines, particularly those
collaboratively working on large-scale engineering projects, will
also find this a valuable resource.
