Stephen P. Radzevich
Johnson Controls Inc., Michigan, USA
Apex Tool Group, LLC, USA
This book systematically develops a scientific theory of gearing for engineers and researchers involved in gear design, analysis, and manufacture. The theory is based on a simple postulate: all the design parameters for an optimal gear pair for a particular application can be derived from the rotation vectors of the driving shaft and driven shaft and the torque on the driving shaft. Written by a gearing expert, this book offers an analytical solution to the problem of designing gear pairs with the desired performance.
Stephen P. Radzevich
This book presents approaches for optimal machining of part surfaces on machine tools, especially of sculptured part surfaces on a multi-axis numerical control (NC) machine. The approach is based on fundamental results of the research obtained in two main areas: in differential geometry (DG) of surfaces, and in kinematics (K) of rigid body in three-dimensional Euclidian space E3. Commonly referred to as DG/K-based method of part surface generation, this method is an extremely powerful tool for solving a plurality of problems in mechanical/ manufacturing engineering.

This handbook covers the peridynamic modeling of failure and damage. Peridynamics is a reformulation of continuum mechanics based on the integration of interactions rather than the spatial differentiation of displacements. The book extends the classical theory of continuum mechanics to allow unguided modeling of crack propagation/ fracture in brittle, quasi-brittle, and ductile materials; autonomous transition from continuous damage/fragmentation to fracture; modeling of long-range forces within a continuous body; and multiscale coupling in a consistent mathematical framework.

Introduction to Finite and Spectral Element Methods Using MATLAB® Second Edition
Introduction to Numerical and Analytical Methods with MATLAB® for Engineers and Scientists
Constantine Pozrikidis
William Bober
University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA
Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, USA
Suitable for self-study or as a textbook in various science and engineering courses, this self-contained book enables readers to quickly understand the theoretical foundation and practical implementation of the finite element method and its companion spectral element method. Readers gain hands-on computational experience by using the free online FSELIB library of MATLAB® functions and codes. Along with updated software and additional solved problems, this edition includes two new chapters as well as updated proofs, derivations, schematic illustrations, and graphs.
This textbook teaches students how to write computer programs on the MATLAB® platform and to use many of MATLAB’s built-in functions to solve engineering-type problems. To students, MATLAB’s built-in functions are black boxes. By combining a textbook on MATLAB with basic numerical and analytical analysis, the mystery of what the black boxes contain is somewhat alleviated. Within each chapter there are exercises related to the topics just covered. The text contains many examples from mechanical, civil, aeronautical, and electrical engineering.

This text explains just how and why the best-of-class pump users are consistently achieving superior run lengths, low maintenance expenditures, and unexcelled safety and reliability. Written by practicing engineers whose working career was marked by involvement in pump specification, installation, reliability assessment, component upgrading, maintenance cost reduction, operation, troubleshooting, and all conceivable facets of pumping technology, this text describes in detail how to accomplish best-of-class performance and low life cycle cost.
This textbook treats system dynamics from a bond graph perspective. It guides students from the process of modeling using bond graphs, through dynamic systems analysis in the time and frequency domains, to classical and state-space controller design. Although established texts exist for system dynamics, bond graph modeling, and automatic controls, this book combines the three into a cohesive text optimized for upper-level undergraduates. It serves as a reference for practicing engineers and as a textbook for system dynamics and controls courses that use bond graphs.
