Mechanical Engineer's Data Handbook

This book aims to provide the professional mechanical engineer with a reference text of an essentially practical nature. An extensive use of illustrations and tables provides quick and clear access to information. It also includes examples of detailed calculations on many of the applications of technology used by a wide spectrum of engineers in different disciplines. There is information given on manufacturing processes, measurements and materials, and a section on general data with tables of bolts, standard sections, keys, etc, as well as physical properties. The formulae given have applications in many areas including the mechanics of solids and fluids, thermodynamics and heat transfer and strengths of materials. Although mainly intended for mechanical engineers, a glance at the contents will show that it may also be useful to those in related branches of engineering such as production, marine, offshore, mining, mineral and in particular that of design
