Full coverage of materials and mechanical design in
engineering
Mechanical Engineers’ Handbook, Fourth Edition provides a
quick guide to specialized areas you may encounter in your work,
giving you access to the basics of each and pointing you toward
trusted resources for further reading, if needed. The accessible
information inside offers discussions, examples, and analyses of
the topics covered.
This first volume covers materials and mechanical design, giving
you accessible and in-depth access to the most common topics you’ll
encounter in the discipline: carbon and alloy steels, stainless
steels, aluminum alloys, copper and copper alloys, titanium alloys
for design, nickel and its alloys, magnesium and its alloys,
superalloys for design, composite materials, smart materials,
electronic materials, viscosity measurement, and much more.
* Presents comprehensive coverage of materials and mechanical
design
* Offers the option of being purchased as a four-book set or as
single books, depending on your needs
* Comes in a subscription format through the Wiley Online Library
and in electronic and custom formats
Engineers at all levels of industry, government, or private
consulting practice will find Mechanical Engineers’ Handbook,
Volume 1 a great resource they’ll turn to repeatedly as a
reference on the basics of materials and mechanical design.
