Design Engineer's Reference Guide

“Designers usually need a quick reference/validation for proposed design. This second volume will, like the first, provide a good, basic collection of math, mechanics and foundational topics they need for project work. Good resource for interdisciplinary design terms.”
––Ronald L. Huston, Mechanical Engineering, University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

“It would appear that the book addresses a large part of what mechanical design engineers need for their day-to-day work… I like the practical treatment of the subject. Key points are explained simply and clearly. There are many worked examples to illustrate the application of the theory. The book would be suitable for engineers wishing to refresh their knowledge of the topics covered.”
––Duc Pham, University of Birmingham, UK
