This book provides a comprehensive and wide-ranging introduction to the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering in a distinct and clear manner. The book is intended for a core introductory course in the area of foundations and applications of mechanical engineering, prescribed for the first-year students of all disciplines of engineering. The book develops an intuitive understanding of the basic principles of thermodynamics as well as of the principles governing the conversion of heat into energy. Numerous illustrative examples are provided to fortify these concepts throughout. The book gives the students a feel for how thermodynamics is applied in engineering practice in the areas of heat engines, steam boilers, internal combustion engines, refrigeration and air conditioning, and to devices such as turbines, pumps and compressors. The book also provides a basic understanding of mechanical design, illustrating the principles through a discussion of devices designed for the transmission of motion and power such as couplings, clutches and brakes. No book on basic mechanical engineering is complete without an introduction to materials science. The text covers the treatment of the common engineering materials, highlighting their properties and applications. Finally, the role of lubrication and lubricants in reducing the wear and tear of parts in mechanical systems, is lucidly explained in the concluding chapter. The text features several fully worked-out examples, a fairly large number of numerical problems with answers, end-of-chapter review questions and multiple choice questions, which all enhance the value of the text to the students. Besides the students studying for an engineering degree, this book is also suitable for study by the students of AMIE and the students of diploma level courses.

While writing the book,we have continuously kept in mind the examination requirments of the students preparing for U.P.S.C.(Engg. Services)and A.M.I.E.(I)examinations.In order to make this volume more useful for them,complete solutions of their examination papers up to 1975 have also been included.Every care has been taken to make this treatise as self-explanatory as possible.The subject matter has been amply illustrated by incorporating a good number of solved,unsolved and well graded examples of almost every variety.
This book addresses conference topics such as information technology in the design and manufacture of engines; information technology in the creation of rocket space systems; aerospace engineering; transport systems and logistics; big data and data science; nano-modeling; artificial intelligence and smart systems; networks and communication; cyber-physical systems and IoE; and software engineering and IT infrastructure. The International Scientific and Technical Conference “Integrated Computer Technologies in Mechanical Engineering” – Synergetic Engineering (ICTM) was formed to bring together outstanding researchers and practitioners in the field of information technology, and whose work involves the design and manufacture of engines, creation of rocket space systems, and aerospace engineering, from all over the world to share their experiences and expertise. It was established by the National Aerospace University “Kharkiv Aviation Institute.” The ICTM’2020 conference was held in Kharkiv, Ukraine on October 28–30, 2020.
Basic Mechanical Engineering covers a wide range of topics and engineering concepts that are required to be learnt as in any undergraduate engineering course. Divided into three parts, this book lays emphasis on explaining the logic and physics of critical problems to develop analytical skills in students.
The term design means to plan for the construction of an object or the formulation of a plan for the satisfaction of need. The term machine design deals with the design of machines, their mechanisms and elements. Design of Machine Element (DME) may be defined as the selection of material and the dimensions for each geometrical parameter so that the element satisfies its function and undesirable effects are kept within the allowable limit. Machine elements are basic mechanical parts and features used as the building blocks of most machines. This book provides a systematic exposition of the basic concepts and techniques involved in design of machine elements. This book covers design of important mechanical elements such as shafts, couplings, springs and power screws under static load. The design of welded and threaded joints and the members subjected to fluctuating loads is also included in this book. Our hope is that this book, through its careful explanations of concepts, practical examples and figures bridges the gap between knowledge and proper application of that knowledge.
Fundamentals of Machine Component Design presents a thorough introduction to the concepts and methods essential to mechanical engineering design, analysis, and application. In-depth coverage of major topics, including free body diagrams, force flow concepts, failure theories, and fatigue design, are coupled with specific applications to bearings, springs, brakes, clutches, fasteners, and more for a real-world functional body of knowledge. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are strengthened through a graphical procedural framework, enabling the effective identification of problems and clear presentation of solutions. Solidly focused on practical applications of fundamental theory, this text helps students develop the ability to conceptualize designs, interpret test results, and facilitate improvement. Clear presentation reinforces central ideas with multiple case studies, in-class exercises, homework problems, computer software data sets, and access to supplemental internet resources, while appendices provide extensive reference material on processing methods, joinability, failure modes, and material properties to aid student comprehension and encourage self-study.
