Summary

ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS

A comprehensive text on the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering

Engineering Applications presents the fundamental principles and applications of the statics and mechanics of materials in complex mechanical systems design. Using MATLAB to help solve problems with numerical and analytical calculations, authors and noted experts on the topic Mihai Dupac and Dan B. Marghitu offer an understanding of the static behaviour of engineering structures and components while considering the mechanics of materials knowledge as the most important part of their design.

The authors explore the concepts, derivations, and interpretations of general principles and discuss the creation of mathematical models and the formulation of mathematical equations. This practical text also highlights the solutions of problems solved analytically and numerically using MATLAB. The figures generated with MATLAB reinforce visual learning for students and professionals as they study the programs. This important text:

  • Shows how mechanical principles are applied to engineering design
  • Covers basic material with both mathematical and physical insight
  • Provides an understanding of classical mechanical principles
  • Offers problem solutions using MATLAB
  • Reinforces learning using visual and computational techniques
  • Written for students and professional mechanical engineers, Engineering Applications helpshone reasoning skills in order to interpret data and generate mathematical equations, offering different methods of solving them for evaluating and designing engineering systems.
