Gillingham, UK
This handbook covers basic subjects that mechanical engineers will meet in their careers as well as the analysis of important machine elements, including shafts, lugs, and shear pins together with mechanical fasteners such as bolts. Emphasizing the use of hand calculations rather than dedicated software enables engineers and engineering students to understand the reasoning behind a particular approach, so that a solution can be readily obtained in the absence of a computer. The chapters cover the general problems that engineers encounter during their work—similar to the problems the writer had to solve in his early career—and provide detailed solutions to such problems. • Provides a concise, practical guide to machine design topics • Includes commonly used calculations and the reasoning behind them • Shows detailed solutions to problems often encountered by engineers • Reflects the experience of a lifelong mechanical engineer • Provides a useful overview of engineering design basics Selected Contents

Machine Design
Clarence W. de Silva
Practical Reliability Engineering and Analysis for System Design and Life-Cycle Sustainment
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
William Wessels
Designed for students across all of engineering, this text offers the multidisciplinary approach needed to develop a foundation in mechatronics. It covers electrical and mechanical components, sensors and instrumentation, drives and actuators, controls, signal processing, component interfacing, modeling, and design. Practical applications and tools introduced up front are uniformly integrated throughout the book. Cases studies and worked examples that make use of MATLAB®, Simulink®, and LabVIEW® application and case studies are included, as are numerous exercises, most based on real engineering practice.
Structured in stand-alone sections and designed for practicing engineers, this book addresses specific reliability and maintainability analysis methods for part design, systems integration, and lifecycle sustainment. Unlike many books on the subject, this one departs from the nearly exclusive use of the exponential probability distribution to characterize failure and demonstrates other probability distributions that more accurately describe the true behavior of failure. Eschewing a more mathematical or statistical approach, it focuses on engineering and emphasizes failure that results from wear-out over the useful life of the part.

Guidance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Rafael Yanushevsky Research & Technology Consulting, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Written by an expert with more than 30 years of experience, Guidance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles contains new analytical results, taken from the author’s research, which can be used for analysis and design of unmanned aerial vehicles guidance and control systems. This book progresses from a clear elucidation of guidance laws and unmanned aerial vehicle dynamics to the modeling of their guidance and control systems. Special attention is paid to guidance of autonomous UAVs, which differs from traditional missile guidance. The author explains UAV applications, contrasting them to a missile’s limited ability (or inability) to control axial acceleration. The discussion of guidance laws for UAVs presents a generalization of missile guidance laws developed by the author. The computational algorithms behind these laws are tested in three applications—for the surveillance problem, the refueling problem, and for the motion control of a swarm of UAVs. The procedure of choosing and testing the guidance laws is also considered in an example of future generation of airborne interceptors launched from UAVs. • Compares new guidance laws with established ones • Focuses on use of computational algorithms and software in missile and UAV guidance • Includes numerical and MATLAB® examples The author provides an innovative presentation of the theoretical aspects of unmanned aerial vehicles’ guidance that cannot be found in any other book. It presents new ideas that, once crystallized, can be implemented in the new generation of unmanned aerial systems. Selected Contents Basics of Guidance. Control of Lateral Motion.

Moscow Physical & Technical University, Russia
Using MATLAB examples wherever possible, this detailed book explores the three levels of MSDF: kinematic-level fusion, including the theory of DF; fuzzy logic and decision fusion; and pixel- and feature-level image fusion. The authors elucidate DF strategies, algorithms, and performance evaluation mainly for aerospace applications, although the methods can also be applied to systems in other areas, such as biomedicine, military defense, and environmental engineering. The book uses the Kalman filter, fuzzy logic, Bayesian networks, clustering, and more to address tracking and other problems. Select MATLAB programs are available online.
Authored by one of Russia’s most respected aerospace researchers, this book is devoted to real gas flows with regard to physical and gas dynamic effects accompanying high-velocity flight in the air or in other atmospheres. In particular, it discusses the re-entry of bodies into the atmosphere of the earth and other planets. Chapters devoted to these problems are preceded by the presentation of the general theory of supersonic—and to some extent subsonic— flow, which is necessary for the comprehension of high-velocity gas dynamics from the overall methodological point of view.

K.L. Mittal
Many tribological devices act as viable bearings in contrast to basic hydrodynamic theory. Similarly, powder films possess quasi-hydrodynamic features that enable them to act as conventional fluid film bearings. These phenomena have led to a novel definition of lubricants as intermediate layers, which are detailed in this book. It illustrates that the various lubrication modes, from dry to hydrodynamic to powder lubrication, overlap to such a degree that they exist on a tribological spectrum. Based on experimental and theoretical work, this text shows how the interdependence of powder and hydrodynamic lubrication exemplify this continuum in tribological processes.
This second volume of a renowned series explores all-new topics critical to the future of tribology. Topics discussed include properties of silane, thio, phthalocyanine and phospholipid films, membranes, grafts, and SAMs on gold, silica, and graphite substrates; water/oil emulsions used as oil well-drilling fluids; properties of organized surfactant assemblies and aqueous solutions of alkyl polyglucosides; surfactants as demulsifiers in enhanced crude oil production from old wells; the fundamentals of surface chemistry at tribological interfaces; the role of surface science in magnetic recording tribology; and more.

Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering Charles A. Gross and Thaddeus Roppel Auburn University, Alabama, USA
Co-authored by Charles Gross—one of the most well-known and respected professors in the field of electric machines and power engineering—and his world-renowned colleague Thad Roppel, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering provides an overview of the profession for engineering professionals and students whose specialization lies in areas other than electrical. For instance, civil engineers must contend with commercial electrical service and lighting design issues. Mechanical engineers have to deal with motors in HVAC applications, and chemical engineers are forced to handle problems involving process control. Simple and easy to use, yet more than sufficient in rigor and coverage of fundamental concepts, this resource teaches EE fundamentals but omits the typical analytical methods that hold little relevance for the audience. The authors provide many examples to illustrate concepts, as well as homework problems to help readers understand and apply presented material. In many cases, courses for non-electrical engineers, or non-EEs, have presented watered-down classical EE material, resulting in unpopular courses that students hate and senior faculty members understandingly avoid teaching. To remedy this situation—and create more well-rounded practitioners—the authors focus on the true EE needs of non-EEs, as determined through their own teaching experience, as well as significant input from non-EE faculty. The book provides several important contemporary interdisciplinary examples to support this approach. The result is a full-color modern narrative that bridges the various EE and non-EE curricula and serves as a truly relevant course that students and faculty can both enjoy.
