David A. Hodges - 1983
    of California-Berkeley), and Saleh's (U. of British Columbia) textbook reflects the extensive changes in the integrated circuit (IC) industry since publication of the second edition 15 years ago, particularly the development of complementary metal-oxi

Electric Circuits Fundamentals [With CDROM]


Thomas L. Floyd - 1983
    It provides a practical coverage of electric circuits (DC/AC) and an introduction to electronic devices that technician-level readers can readily understand. Well-illustrated and clearly written, the book contains a full-color layout that enhances visual interest and ease of use. This acclaimed book covers all the basics of DC and AC circuits. Safety tips, key terms, and a comprehensive set of appendices are included. An important reference tool for service shop technicians, industrial manufacturing technicians, laboratory technicians, field service technicians, engineering assistants and associate engineers, technical writers, and those in technical sales.

Machinery's Handbook Guide


Erik Oberg - 1983
    Completely updated and revised to reflect the changes and additions made to the 29th Edition, the Guide enables users to maximize the enormous practical value available from Machinery's Handbook.Illustrates through hundreds of examples, solutions, and questions how to take full advantage of the Handbook to solve the types of problems typically encountered in drafting rooms, machine shops and on the factory floor.Allows you to quickly become more thoroughly familiar with the vast range of contents found in the Handbook.By practicing the many practical techniques explained in this Guide, you will be able to obtain the solution or information needed to resolve on-the-job problems.

Build Your Own Metalworking Shop from Scrap: Series Set


David J. Gingery - 1983
    Beginning with a simple charcoal fired foundry you produce the castings for building the machine tools to equip your shop. Initially the castings are finished by simple hand methods, but it isn't long before the developing machines are doing much of the work to produce their own parts. It does not take long to learn the simple craft of pattern-making and sand molding. Each phase of the projects increase your knowledge and skill. There is no need to look for outside help. You can do it all in your own shop. No complicated math.....no exotic equipment required.....no large cash outlay. Lots of work to be sure, and some of it can be downright tedious, but the reward will be a practical small scale machine shop that you might never give yourself permission to buy, assuming you could afford it. And there is also the pride in knowing you've done it all yourself.

A First Course in Fluid Dynamics


A.R. Paterson - 1983
    This important discipline has applications which range from the study of the large-scale properties of the galaxies to the design of high precision engineering components. This book introduces the subject of fluid dynamics from the first principles. The first eleven chapters cover all the basic ideas of fluid mechanics, explaining carefully the modelling and mathematics needed. The last six chapters illustrate applications of this material to linearised sound and water waves, to high speed flow of air, to non-linear water waves on channels, and to aerofoil theory. Over 350 diagrams have been used to illustrate key points. Exercises are included to help develop and reinforce the reader's understanding of the material presented. References at the ends of each chapter serve not only to guide readers to more detailed texts, but also list where alternative descriptions of the salient points in the chapter may be found. This book is an undergraduate text for second or third year students of mathematics or mathematical physics, who are taking a first course in fluid dynamics.

Kinematics and Dynamics of Machinery


Charles E. Wilson - 1983
    Coverage of a broad range of machines and mechanisms with practical applications given top consideration. Mechanisms and Machines. Motion in Machinery. Velocity Analysis of Mechanisms. Acceleration Analysis of Mechanisms. Cams. Spur Gears. Helical, Worm, and Bevel Gears. Drive Trains. Static-Force Analysis. Dynamic-Force Analysis. Synthesis. Introduction to Robotic Manipulators.

Mathematical Foundations of Elasticity


Jerrold E. Marsden - 1983
    It is directed to mathematicians, engineers and physicists who wish to see this classical subject in a modern setting with examples of newer mathematical contributions. Prerequisites include a solid background in advanced calculus and the basics of geometry and functional analysis.The first two chapters cover the background geometry ― developed as needed ― and use this discussion to obtain the basic results on kinematics and dynamics of continuous media. Subsequent chapters deal with elastic materials, linearization, variational principles, the use of functional analysis in elasticity, and bifurcation theory. Carefully selected problems are interspersed throughout, while a large bibliography rounds out the text.
