Abstract

"This is the first mechanical engineering textbook that deals with the operational processes of systems: the analysis of their characteristics of motion. A system's motion often must comply with certain constraints, such as acceptable ranges of acceleration or deceleration. Determining the parameters of motion requires the composing and solving of differential equations that describe the system's operational processes. Calculus courses for mechanical engineering programs offer a method based on characteristic equations, which allows the solving of differential equations for one-degree-of-freedom systems. However, this method does not work for two-degree-of-freedom systems, such as shock absorbing mechanisms. This textbook presents the solutions for the entire spectrum of linear differential equations of motion for one- and two-degree-of-freedom systems. These solutions are obtained using the Laplace Transform methodology along with a newly presented table of 101 Laplace Transform pairs."

Abstract

"Providing a modern approach to classical fluid mechanics, this textbook presents an accessible and rigorous introduction to the field, with a strong emphasis on both mathematical exposition and physical problems. It includes a consistent treatment of a broad range of fluid mechanics topics, including governing equations, vorticity, potential flow, compressible flow, viscous flow, instability, and turbulence. It has enhanced coverage of geometry, coordinate transformations, kinematics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and nonlinear dynamics. To round out student understanding, a robust emphasis on theoretical fundamentals and underlying mathematical details is provided, enabling students to gain confidence and develop a solid framework for further study. Included also are 180 end-of-chapter problems, with full solutions and sample course syllabi available for instructors. With sufficient coverage for a one- or two-semester sequence, this textbook provides an ideal flexible teaching pathway for graduate students in aerospace, mechanical, chemical, and civil engineering, and applied mathematics."

Abstract

"Orienté vers l'application, cet ouvrage introduit le lien entre la mécanique des contacts et le frottement, et permet ainsi une compréhension plus approfondie de la tribologie. Il traite des phénomènes étroitement liés que sont le contact, l'adhérence, les forces capillaires, le frottement, la lubrification et l'usure. L'auteur y analyse (1) les méthodes d'estimation approximative des grandeurs tribologiques, (2) les méthodes de calcul analytique avec l'ampleur minimale requise et (3) le passage aux méthodes de simulation numérique. Il offre ainsi une vision globale et homogène des processus tribologiques à différentes échelles, de la nanotribologie à la sismologie. Sans oublier certains aspects de la dynamique des systèmes tribologiques, tels que les grincements et les moyens de les combattre, et d'autres types d'instabilité et de formation de motifs. De surcroît, chaque chapitre est illustré de problèmes corrigés, permettant ainsi d'approfondir et de mettre en pratique la matière traitée. En supplément à la troisième édition: une présentation plus détaillée de la lubrification élastohydrodynamique, un chapitre élargi et actualisé sur les méthodes de simulation numérique en mécanique des contacts, l'extension du chapitre sur l'usure par la discussion et le calcul du fretting, ainsi que de nombreux nouveaux problèmes et études de cas, qui contribuent à faire de cet ouvrage un manuel de référence, s'adressant aussi bien aux ingénieurs spécialisés dans le domaine de la tribologie qu'aux étudiants de deuxième cycle en ingénierie ou en sciences naturelles."

Abstract

This textbook on rotating fluid dynamics combines a pedagogical development of theoretical ideas with a description and analysis of many of the fascinating examples of rotating flows found in nature. The book is self-contained, starting in Part I with introductory chapters on fluid dynamics and waves. The largest section of the book is Part II, where a broad theoretical framework is developed for rotating flows, including Ekman layers, inertial waves, Taylor columns, Rossby waves, precession, instabilities, rotating convection, vortex breakdown, and rotating turbulence. The book ends, in Part III, with an analysis of some naturally occurring rotating flows, including tornadoes and dust devils, tidal vortices, tropical cyclones, convection in planetary cores, zonal winds in planetary atmospheres, and astrophysical accretion discs. Davidson presents a unique combination of a deep but broad theoretical framework with a detailed discussion of many naturally occurring flows. Moreover, the book places great emphasis on the pedagogical development of theoretical ideas and the physical insight that brings.

Abstract

"This textbook offers a concise yet rigorous treatment of continuum mechanics at the introductory level. It differs from traditional textbooks by combining tensor analysis with mechanical analysis and teaching the former's basics within a single chapter. Readers of this book are not required to have learned tensor analysis in the context of engineering mathematics beforehand. The basic objectives of continuum mechanics are included in this textbook to facilitate an easy and thorough understanding of the concepts of continuum mechanics and elasticity. In addition, the mathematics and physics of deformation and kinematics are introduced and studied from the concept of stretch rather than from the traditional approach of strain. The large deformation problem of new smart soft materials is also introduced. This textbook provides illustrative examples and problem sets that enable readers to test their understanding of the subject matter and utilize the tools developed in the formulation of engineering problems. It is suitable for students whose undergraduate disciplines are non-mechanics-related fields. It also helps students or engineers who use the finite element method (FEM) to analyze problems to interpret the results produced by FEM software"
