Mechanical Engineering and Simple Machines


Book Description

"Mechanical engineers design and innovate machines we use every day. Learn about the jobs they do and steps they must follow in the engineering design process"--P. [4] of cover.




The Book of Basic Machines


Book Description

Everythingyou need to know about how machines...




Simple Machines!


Book Description

"Simple Machines! introduces kids to the concept of mechanical advantage and harnesses kid-power by inviting them to build machines of their own design. This book also opens eyes and minds to the diversity of machines in their lives, and sparks the imagination with challenge, humor, and achievable projects"--Publisher.




The Kids' Book of Simple Machines


Book Description

Introduces six simple machines, describing how they work in more complex machinery and how they are used every day.




Simple Machines Lever


Book Description

In Simple Machines: Lever, young learners in grades 1–3 will explore how levers give us the lift we need. From scissors to wheelbarrows, this 24-page title uses real-world examples of simple machine mechanisms and explains how these feats of engineering can make daily work less difficult to complete. The Simple Machines series for grades 1–3 explains how basic mechanical devices, that are used for applying a force, can help make daily tasks much easier. Featuring before- and after-reading activities, a glossary, an index, and comprehension questions, this series helps young learners strengthen their reading comprehension skills while also introducing them to some of the most commonly used simple machines




Mechanical Design of Machine Elements and Machines


Book Description

Taking a failure prevention perspective, this book provides engineers with a balance between analysis and design. The new edition presents a more thorough treatment of stress analysis and fatigue. It integrates the use of computer tools to provide a more current view of the field. Photos or images are included next to descriptions of the types and uses of common materials. The book has been updated with the most comprehensive coverage of possible failure modes and how to design with each in mind. Engineers will also benefit from the consistent approach to problem solving that will help them apply the material on the job.










Simple Machines: Forces in Action


Book Description

Introduces simple machines, including screws, levers, wedges, and pulleys, describes how each makes everyday life easier, and provides activities demonstrating these machines in action.




Mechanics of Machines


Book Description

"Emphasizes the industrial relevance of the subject matter, dispenses with conventional inaccurate graphical methods used in Kinematics of plane mechanisms, cams and balancing. Instead presents general vector approach for both plane and space mechanisms."--BOOK JACKET.
