Synopsis
Geometrical drawings play an important role in conveying the ideas of engineers, scientists and inventors. In particular, its role is very important in technical drawings like of machines and their production procedure applications, civil engineering activities like construction of reservoirs, dams, roadways, structures, buildings, etc. and involvement in electrical engineering aspects like generators, electrical equipment design, etc. This book undertakes step by step understanding of the projection concepts of 2- and 3-dimensional objects, with diagrammatical explanations object, with diagrammatical explanations. The contents are developed in transition from basics of simple constructions of plane figures to complexity of the remaining chapters (3-dimensional objects) including the generalized approaches without compromising the connectivity through the chapters. A large number of diagrams for easy understanding of the changes and assumptions taken in projecting the object on to a plain paper are also provided. Each chapter contains sufficient number of solved problems, questions and objective type questions. Contents: Instruments, Geometrical Constructions and Scales / Curves / Orthographic Projections and Projection of Points / Projection of Straight Lines / Projection of Planes / Projection of Solids / Sections of Solids / Development of Surfaces / Isometric Projections / Perspective Projections / Index.
