The Engineering Handbook by Richard C. Dorf (Editor), Dorf C. Dorf

From the Publisher

First published in 1995, The Engineering Handbook quickly became the definitive engineering reference. Although it remains a bestseller, the many advances realized in traditional engineering fields along with the emergence and rapid growth of fields such as biomedical engineering, computer engineering, and nanotechnology mean that the time has come to bring this standard-setting reference up to date.

New in the Second Edition

• 19 completely new chapters addressing important topics in bioinstrumentation, control systems, nanotechnology, image and signal processing, electronics, environmental systems, structural systems
• 131 chapters fully revised and updated
• Expanded lists of engineering associations and societies


The Engineering Handbook, Second Edition is designed to enlighten experts in areas outside their own specialties, to refresh the knowledge of mature practitioners, and to educate engineering novices. Whether you work in industry, government, or academia, this is simply the best, most useful engineering reference you can have in your personal, office, or institutional library.

Booknews

Intended as a resource for practicing engineers or for students, this CD-ROM provides access to contributions covering statics, force systems resultants and equilibrium, centroids and distributed loads, moments of inertia, mechanics of materials reactions, bending stresses in beams, and dynamics of vibration, of particles, and of rigid bodies, among other topics. As expected, the CD-ROM features boolean and proximity searching, support for bookmarking and annotation, inter-text links, zoom features for viewing figures and graphs, and cut and paste capability.
