Product Details

Synopsis

A-Z guide to electrical/electronic and mechanical engineering design data.The ultimate sourcebook of electro-mechanical engineering design data is now better than ever, with thoroughly updated material, new discussions of engineering economics and elastomer springs. and a bounty of new drawings. Electro-Mechanical Design Handbook, Third Edition, by Ronald A. Walsh, gives you the know-how you need to develop parts, mechanisms, and assemblies, with thorough explanations of: *Properties, uses, and strength of engineering materials *Machine element design and mechanisms *Basic pneumatics, hydraulics, air handling and heat *Fastener and joining techniques *Layout and fabrication practices, including castings, moldings, extrusions and powder metal technology *Finishes and plating practices *Dimensioning and tolerancing practices *Much, much more!

Booknews

A compendium of practical, on-the-job information on all aspects of electromechanical design, revised and expanded (with some 400 pages of additional material) to reflect the latest technological advances in the field. It consolidates enough basic and application-specific design data and procedures to allow electromechanical engineers to initiate many of the design calculations and procedures required to begin the development of mechanical, electrical, and electronic parts, mechanisms, assemblies, and processes.
