Preface: The Mechanical Engineers Data Handbook has been compiled with the express intention of providing a compact but comprehensive source of information of particular value to the engineer whether in the design office, drawing office, research and development department or on site. It should also prove to be of use to production chemical, mining, mineral, electrical and building services engineers, and lecturers and students in universities, polytechnics and colleges. Although intended as a personal handbook in should also find its way into the libraries of engineering establishments and teaching institutions.
The Mechanical Engineers Data Handbook cover the main disciplines of mechanical engineering and incorporates basic principles, formulae for easy substitution, table of physical properties and much descriptive matter backed by numerous illustrations. It also contains a comprehensive glossary of technical terms and a full index for easy cross-reference.
Эта настольная книга инженера-механика была призвана предоставить компактный, но всесторонний источник ценной информации для инженера. Книга может оказаться полезной для инженеров различных производств (химической, горнодобывающей, строительной и др.), для преподавателей и студентов в университетах, политехнических институтах и колледжах.
Книга охватывают основные дисциплины машиностроения и включает в себя основные принципы, формулы, таблицы физических свойств и много иной полезной информации. Описательный материал книги подкреплен многочисленными иллюстрациями и содержит полный глоссарий технических терминов и полный индекс для облегчения поиска необходимой информации.
