Mechanical Design of Machine Components, Second Edition strikes a balance between theory and application, and prepares students for more advanced study or professional practice. It outlines the basic concepts in the design and analysis of machine elements using traditional methods, based on the principles of mechanics of materials. The text combine

Ideal for the two-semester, undergraduate Classical Mechanics course, Intermediate Dynamics provides an active-learning, student-friendly approach to this challenging level of physics. The text begins with an optional review of introductory concepts typically covered in prerequisite courses and moves on to the topics traditionally covered in courses in intermediate mechanics. It includes historical sketches of important contributors to the field and provides footnotes to recent articles that consider the material being discussed. Within each chapter the author includes numerous accessible exercises that help students understand key material, while more rigorous end-of-chapter problems challenge students to work out problems based on concepts discussed in the chapter. Additional computer problems are offered at the end of each chapter for those who would like to explore computational physics.

The quantum-mechanical few-body problem is of fundamental importance for all branches of microphysics and it has substantially broadened with the advent of modern computers. This book gives a simple, unified recipe to obtain precise solutions to virtually any few-body bound-state problem and presents its application to various problems in atomic, molecular, nuclear, subnuclear and solid state physics. The main ingredients of the methodology are a wave-function expansion in terms of correlated Gaussians and an optimization of the variational trial function by stochastic sampling. The book is written for physicists and, especially, for graduate students interested in quantum few-body physics.

This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Advances in Mechanical Engineering Research and Development (ICRAMERD 2022) focusing on the recent advances and best practices of mechanical engineering, related technologies and sciences to meet the challenges in mechanical engineering, digital technology and smart manufacturing. The contents focus on design engineering, advanced materials, automation in engineering, industrial and systems engineering, energy and others. Some of the topics discussed here include fracture and failure analysis, fuels and alternative fuels, non-conventional machining, combustion and IC engines, advanced manufacturing technologies, powder metallurgy and rapid prototyping, industrial engineering and automation, supply chain management, design of mechanical systems, vibrations and control engineering, automobile engineering, performance analysis of biomass energy systems, heat transfer, composite materials, thermal modelling and simulations of different systems, analysis of slurry pipeline systems, waste management, optimization and robotics.
