A Txtbook of Engineering Physics is written with two distinct objectives:to provied a single source of information for engineering undergraduates of different specializations and provied them a solid base in physics.Successivs editions of the book incorporated topic as required by students pursuing their studies in various universities.In this new edition the contents are fine-tuned,modeinized and updated at various stages.
Designed for a one-semester course in Finite Element Method, this compact and well-organized text presents FEM as a tool to find approximate solutions to differential equations. This provides the student a better perspective on the technique and its wide range of applications. This approach reflects the current trend as the present-day applications range from structures to biomechanics to electromagnetics, unlike in conventional texts that view FEM primarily as an extension of matrix methods of structural analysis. After an introduction and a review of mathematical preliminaries, the book gives a detailed discussion on FEM as a technique for solving differential equations and variational formulation of FEM. This is followed by a lucid presentation of one-dimensional and two-dimensional finite elements and finite element formulation for dynamics. The book concludes with some case studies that focus on industrial problems and Appendices that include mini-project topics based on near-real-life problems. Postgraduate/Senior undergraduate students of civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineering will find this text extremely useful; it will also appeal to the practising engineers and the teaching community.
Teaches readers how to test and analyze software to achieve an acceptable level of quality at an acceptable cost Readers will be able to minimize software failures, increase quality, and effectively manage costs Covers techniques that are suitable for near-term application, with sufficient technical background to indicate how and when to apply them Provides balanced coverage of software testing & analysis approaches By incorporating modern topics and strategies, this book will be the standard software-testing textbook
About the Book: Basic Electrical Engineering has been written as a core course for all engineering students viz. electronics and communication engineering, computer engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering etc. Since this course will normally be offered at the first year level of engineering, the author has made modest effort to give in a concise form, various features of Basic Electrical Engineering using simple language and through solved examples, avoiding the rigorous of mathematics. The salient features of this edition D.C. Circuits along with Ohms law and Kirchhoff's laws explained. Faradays laws of electromagnetic induction, Lenz's law, Hysteresis losses and eddy current losses have been discussed. Steady state analysis of a.c. circuits explained. Network theorems explained using typical examples. Analysis of 3-phase circuits and measurement of power in these circuits explained. Measuring instruments like ammeter, voltmeter, wattmeter and energy meter described. Various electrical machines viz. transformers, d.c. machines, single phase and three phase induction motors, synchronous, machines, servomotors have been described. A brief view of power system including conventional and non-conventional sources of electric energy is given. Domestic wiring has been discussed. Numerous solved examples and practice problems for thorough grasp of the subject presented. A large number of multiple choice questions with answer given. Contents: D.C. Circuits Electromagnetic Induction A.C. Circuits Network Theory Three Phase Supply Basic Instruments Transformer D.C. Machines Three-Phase Synchronous Machines Three-Phase Induction Motors Single Phase Induction Motors Power System Domestic Wiring
Based on a 15-year successful approach to teaching aircraft flight mechanics at the US Air Force Academy, this text explains the concepts and derivations of equations for aircraft flight mechanics. It covers aircraft performance, static stability, aircraft dynamics stability and feedback control.
