About this title

Synopsis:

An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering: Part 2 is an essential text for all second-year undergraduate students as well as those studying foundation degrees and HNDs. The text provides thorough coverage of the following core engineering topics:

1. Fluid dynamics
2. Thermodynamics
3. Solid mechanics
4. Control theory and techniques
5. Mechanical power, loads and transmissions
6. Structural vibration

As well as mechanical engineers, the text will be highly relevant to automotive, aeronautical/aerospace and general engineering students.

The material in this book has full student and lecturer support on an accompanying website at http://cw.tandf.co.uk/mechanicalengineering/, which includes:

• revision material

The text is written by an experienced team of lecturers at the internationally renowned University of Nottingham.

About the Author:

Tom H. Hyde, Wei Sun, and Chris J. Hyde have been on the engineering faculty at the University of Nottingham for a combined period of 56 years. All three are highly active researchers and teachers in solid mechanics, with a strong emphasis on the high-temperature behavior of materials and components. The authors have published more than 400 papers and have successfully supervised more than 50 PhD students. They have taught modules to students at all levels in BSc, MSc, BEng, and MEng courses, as well as having taught industry-based courses. Funding for their research has been obtained from a wide range of governmental and industrial collaborators. Professor Tom Hyde was the founding director of the Rolls-Royce UTC (University Technology Centre) on aero-engine transmission systems, at the University of Nottingham. Wei Sun is an associate professor, and Chris Hyde is a lecturer.
