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:
Fluid dynamics
Thermodynamics
Solid mechanics
Control theory and techniques
Mechanical power, loads and transmissions
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:
worked solutions for exam-style questions
multiple-choice self-assessment
revision material
The text is written by an experienced team of lecturers at the internationally renowned University of Nottingham.
