1 Title : The finite element method in engineering (5th)
Author : Rao, Singiresu S.
- Finite Element Analysis is an analytical engineering tool originated by the
Aerospace and nuclear power industries to find usable, approximate solutions
to problems with many complex variables. It is an extension of derivative and
integral calculus, and uses very large matrix arrays and mesh diagrams to
calculate stress points, movement of loads and forces, and other basic physical
behaviors. Rao provides a thorough grounding of the mathematical principles
for setting up finite element solutions in civil, mechanical, and aerospace
engineering applications. The new edition includes examples using modern
computer tools such as Matlab, Ansys, Nastran, and Abaqus.

2 Title : Applied and computational fluid mechanics
Author : Scott post
- Designed for the fluid mechanics course for mechanical engineers or as a
reference for professional engineers, this up to date text uses computer
algorithms and applications to solve modern problems related to fluid flow,
aerodynamics, and thermodynamics. Algorithms for numerical solutions of
fluid problems (which can be implemented in programming environments
such as MATLAB) will be used throughout the book, and it also includes an
introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics, a well-established method in
the design of heat transfer and cooling applications. A CD-ROM accompanies
the book with source code, MATLAB files, third-party simulations, color
figures, and other resources.This book contains an introduction to
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), including capabilities and limitations
of CFD and common problems. It contains practical applications such as fuel
cells, aerodynamic design of ground vehicles, micro-fluidic devices, iterative
pipe flow problems, wind turbines, rockets, pumps, and others.

2. 3 Title : Introduction to Composite Materials
Design (2nd)
Author : Ever J. Barbero.
- Completely revised and updated, this second edition of a bestseller contains
new chapters on short fiber composites, fabric reinforced composites, and
external reinforcement for infrastructure. The text covers design aspects such
as fiber and matrix selection, fabrication processes, prediction of material
properties, and structural analysis of beams, plates, shells, and other
structures. Powerful preliminary design tools, such as 'carpet plots', are used in
examples throughout the book. Instructional materials including PowerPoint
slides, software, and other pedagogical tools will be available from a password
protected website maintained by the author.

processing
Title : Essentials of thermal processing
Author : Gary Tucker, Susan Featherstone
- Thermal processing remains the most important method of food preservation
in use today, and the scale of the industry is immense. The large scale of these
production operations makes it more important than ever that the process is
performed perfectly every time: failure will lead to product deterioration and
loss of sales at best, and at worst to serious illness or death.

5 Title : Numerical Methods in Fluid Dynamics :
Boundary-
Initial and Initial Boundary-Value Problems
Author
Author : Gary A. Sod.
- Here is an introduction to numerical methods for partial differential
equations with particular reference to those that are of importance in fluid
dynamics. The author gives a thorough and rigorous treatment of the
techniques, beginning with the classical methods and leading to a discussion
of modern developments. For easier reading and use, many of the purely
technical results and theorems are given separately from the main body of the
text. The presentation is intended for graduate students in applied

3. mathematics, engineering and physical sciences who have a basic knowledge
of partial differential equations.

rotordynamics
Title : Machinery vibration and rotordynamics
Author : John Vance, Brian Murphy, Fouad Zeidan.
- A valuable textbook for beginners as well as a handy reference for experts,
Machinery Vibration and Rotordynamics is teeming with rich technical detail
and real-world examples geared toward the study of machine vibration. A
logical progression of information covers essential fundamentals, in-depth
case studies, and the latest analytical tools used for predicting and preventing
damage in rotating machinery. Machinery Vibration and Rotordynamics:

7 Title : Nonlinear vibration with control : for flexible
and adaptive structures
Author : David Wagg, Simon Neild.
- This book covers the basic principles of nonlinear vibrations which occur in
flexible and/or adaptive structures, with an emphasis on engineering analysis
and relevant control techniques.
Understanding nonlinear vibrations is becoming increasingly important in a
range of engineering applications. This is particularly true in the design of
flexible structures such as aircraft, satellites, bridges, and sports stadia. There
is an increasing trend towards lighter structures, with increased slenderness,
often made of new composite materials and requiring some form of
deployment and/or active vibration control. There are also applications in the
areas of robotics, mechatronics, micro electrical mechanical systems, non-
destructive testing and related disciplines such as structural health monitoring.

4. 8 engineering
Title : Manual of engineering drawing : a guide to iso
and asme standards (3rded.)
Author : Colin H. Simmons, Dennis E. Maguire.
- The Manual of Engineering Drawing has long been the recognised as a
guide for practicing and student engineers to producing engineering drawings
and annotated 3D models that comply with the latest British and ISO
Standards of Technical Product Specifications and Documentation. This new
edition has been updated to include the requirements of BS8888 2008 and the
relevant ISO Standards, and is ideal for International readership; it includes a
guide to the fundamental differences between the ISO and ASME Standards
relating to Technical Product Specification and Documentation. Equally
applicable to CAD and manual drawing it includes the latest development in
3D annotation and the specification of surface texture. The Duality Principle
is introduced as this important concept is still very relevant in the new world
of 3D Technical Product Specification. Written by members of BSI and ISO
committees and a former college lecturer, the Manual of Engineering Drawing
combines up to the minute technical information with clear, readable
explanations and numerous diagrams and traditional geometrical construction
techniques rarely taught in schools and colleges. This approach makes this
manual an ideal companion for students studying vocational courses in
Technical Product Specification, undergraduates studying engineering or
product design and any budding engineer beginning a career in design. The
comprehensive scope of this new edition encompasses topics such as
orthographic and pictorial projections, dimensional, geometrical and surface
tolerancing, 3D annotation and the duality principle, along with numerous
examples of electrical and hydraulic diagrams with symbols and applications
of cams, bearings, welding and adhesives.
