An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering is an essential text for all first-year undergraduate students as well as those studying for foundation degrees and HNDs. The text gives a thorough grounding in the following core engineering topics: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, dynamics, electricals and electronics, and materials scien

The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering series is designed to provide a very simple, non-technical introduction to the fields of engineering for people with no experience in the fields. Each book in the series focuses on introducing the reader to the various concepts in the fields of engineering conceptually rather than mathematically. These books are a great resource for high school students that are considering majoring in one of the engineering fields, or for anyone else that is curious about engineering but has no background in the field. Books in the series: 1. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Chemical Engineering 2. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Computer Engineering 3. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Electrical Engineering 4. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Mechanical Engineering

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.
