Synopsis

This book is a foundational text that teaches the reader how to understand and make use of the formulas used in mechanical engineering. Mechanics relies upon an understanding of both the general formulas which govern how machines of all kinds behave, and the specific formulas which govern the behavior of specific kinds of machines. As such, the text begins by introducing the general principles of how to use and derive formulas, both in general and in the context of analyzing mechanical engineering problems. The text then goes through a selection of problems, working through each in a step-by-step fashion to show the reader how to apply the formulas to each specific circumstance. Finally, the text provides a short overview of topics in mechanical engineering, including flywheels, bearings, springs, and more, and provides a number of solved problems relevant to each, to give the reader a chance to practice applying what they have learned. Through this, the author seeks to not just teach the reader how to use formulas, but to provide a frameowrk for them to be able to use formulas they encounter in their own professional pursuits, and to help them understand the theoretical underpinnings of the field of mechanical engineering, as well as some of the practical applications of its principles.
