Called the mechanical engineer's bible for over 90 years, this 1,800-page tome enables one to solve any mechanical engineering problem quickly and easily, according to the publisher.

ISO 14242-2:2016 specifies methods of assessment of wear of the acetabular component of total hip-joint prostheses using gravimetric techniques and changes in dimensional form of components tested in accordance with ISO 14242‑1 or ISO 14242‑3 as appropriate.

Planetary Exploration with Ingenuity and Dragonfly aims to lay out to 'space people' what they need to know about rotorcraft, and to 'helicopter people' what they need to know about delivering vehicles through space and operating them on other planets.

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes are proving to be a disruptive technology and are grabbing the attention of the propulsion industry. AM-related advancements in new industries, supply chains, design opportunities, and novel materials are increasing at a rapid pace. The goal of this text is to provide an overview of the practical concept-to-utilization lifecycle in AM for propulsion applications. As with any new process, it's tempting to get caught up in the excitement of AM and its application and to give little forethought to the potential economic and technical challenges. This text is intended to help AM adopters to be intentional as they apply these technologies, and to understand the basis for the lifecycle of AM components. It is a practical guide based on lessons learned and experiences with both successes and in failures in AM.

Written to be used as both a student reference and a practical manufacturing guide. The proposed book explains the methods of tooling for composites manufacturing, along with approaches for selecting and applying the methods. The book discusses different composite designs and relates this information to fabrication technologies and their associated types of tooling. The text lays out the advantages and disadvantages of tooling strategies and clarifies the risks associated with each. Included are numerous examples, as well as troubleshooting guidelines.

Non-Destructive Testing and Testability of Materials and Structures encompasses a wide range of methods for inspecting an object without modifying it. Analysis must be unambiguous, particularly in sensitive industrial sectors such as nuclear and aeronautics. This book provides an exhaustive presentation of the parameters for carrying out this sort of evaluation, the conditions under which it can occur, and the characteristics of potential defects. Additionally, it explores the physical principles, technology, and current methods of non-destructive testing (NDT), both common and specific. This manual also describes methods for identifying factors that can deteriorate measurements and distort analysis. In this way, it introduces and defines the concepts of structural noise and environmental parameters.

The present book describes the development history of turbojet engines, mainly in the web-type triangle Great Britain (USA)-Germany-Switzerland from early beginnings in the 1920s up to the first practical usage in the 1950s, before the still unbroken, grand impact of aero propulsion technology on global air traffic started. interconnections are highlighted, including the considerable impact of axial-flow compressor design know-how of the Swiss/German company BBC Brown Boveri & Cie. on both sides. The author reveals significant undercurrents which led to a considerable exchange, and thus change in understanding of the technical-historical perspective, especially in the decisive years before WWII, and thus closes gaps in the unilateral views of this ground-breaking technical advancement. The old 'Whittle vs. von Ohain Saga' is not repeated in full, but addressed in sufficient detail to understand the considerably enlarged narrative scope.

This is a largely updated version on a first edition on advanced aircraft performance. In this edition, about one-third of the material deals with environmental performance. The book contains advanced material across several disciplines, including data-driven modelling, airframe-propulsion integration, thermo-structural performance and flight mechanics. The second part of this book is devoted to a wide spectrum of environmental aspects of flight. Exhaust gases have long-time spans and aircraft condensation trails are there to remind us that aviation is having a measurable impact on our skies. There is hope that sustainable aviation fuels could help reduce the overall emissions. The book contains advanced material across several disciplines, including data-driven modelling, airframe-propulsion integration, thermo-structural performance and flight mechanics.
