Ronald K. Jurgen

Description :

The Standard Handbook of Electronics Engineering has defined its field for over thirty years. Spun off in the 1960’s from Fink’s Standard Handbook of Electrical Engineering, the Christiansen book has seen its markets grow rapidly, as electronic engineering and microelectronics became the growth engine of digital computing. The EE market has now undergone another seismic shift—away from computing and into communications and media. The Handbook will retain much of its evergreen basic material, but the key applications sections will now focus upon communications, networked media, and medicine—the eventual destination of the majority of graduating EEs these days.

Fundamentals of Material Science and Engineering: An Integrated Approach, 4th Edition

2014-01-31T04:38:00.001-08:00

Authors: William D Callister

David G Rethwsich

About This Book :

Callister and Rethwisch's Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering, 4th Edition continues to take the integrated approach to the organization of topics. That is, one specific structure, characteristic, or property type at a time is discussed for all three basic material types — metals, ceramics, and polymeric materials. This order of presentation allows for the early introduction of non-metals and supports the engineer's role in choosing materials based upon their characteristics. Also discussed are new, cutting-edge materials. Using clear, concise terminology that is familiar to students, Fundamentals presents material at an appropriate level for both student comprehension and instructors who may not have a materials background.

Fundamentals of Structural Engineering

2014-01-31T03:29:00.001-08:00

Fundamentals of Structural Engineering provides a balanced, seamless treatment of both classic, analytic methods and contemporary, computer-based techniques for conceptualizing and designing a structure. The book’s principle goal is to foster an intuitive understanding of structural behavior based on problem solving experience for students of civil engineering and architecture who have been exposed to the basic
concepts of engineering mechanics and mechanics of materials.

Making it distinct from many other undergraduate textbooks, the authors of this text recognize the notion that engineers reason about behavior using simple models and intuition they acquire through problem solving. The approach adopted in this text develops this type of intuition by presenting extensive, realistic problems and case studies together with computer simulation, which allows rapid exploration of how a structure responds to changes in geometry and physical parameters.

Fundamentals of Structural Engineering

By Jerome J. Connor and Susan Faraji
Springer | July 2012 | ISBN-10: 1461432618

In this Book-

- Emphasizes problem-based understanding of structural behavior
- Organizes chapters by structural types
- Provides balanced, seamless treatment of both classic and contemporary
computer-based analysis methods
- Offers extensive sample problems and detailed solutions to problems
of structural analysis
- Cultivates intuitive thinking about structural behavior
- Incorporates input data operable with numerous widely used
engineering design software packages
- Features 900 figures and graphs

Engineering with Rubber - How to Design Rubber Components (3rd Ed)

2014-01-31T01:39:00.000-08:00

Author : Alan Gent

Published : September 2012

About This Book

This book provides the principles of rubber science and technology: what rubber is, how it behaves, and how to design engineering components with rubber. It introduces the principles on which successful use of rubber depends and offers solutions to the questions engineers in rubber processing face every day. How is an elastomer chosen and a formulation developed? Why is rubber highly elastic and relatively strong? How is the stiffness and strength of a product estimated? How is high quality and durability guaranteed? The authors describe current practices in rubber engineering. At the end of each chapter, there are sample questions and problems (with solutions) that gauge mastery of the material.
