The third editions of both Engineering Mechanics:
Statics and Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics,
written by nationally regarded authors Andrew
Pytel and Jaan Kiusalaas, provide students with
solid coverage of material without the overload
of extraneous detail. The extensive teaching
experience of the authorship team provides
first-hand knowledge of the learning skill levels
of today’s student. This is reflected in the texts
through the pedagogy and the tying of real world
problems and examples to the fundamentals of
Statics and Dynamics. Teaching students how
to effectively analyze problems before plugging
numbers into formulas, these texts benefit
students tremendously as they encounter real-life
problems that may not always fit into standard
formulas. These books were designed with a rich,
concise, two-color presentation and have stand
alone Study Guides that include further problems,
examples, and case studies.
New to this Edition:
• New “Review of Equations” sections have been
added to the end of each chapter to assist
students as they work the textbook problems.
• Includes new content on rolling resistance and
a revised section on virtual displacements
• Section on beam analysis has been completely
rewritten to more clearly focus upon methods
and terminology used in the engineering
design of beams.
Key Features:
• The early introduction to the relationship
between force and acceleration used in this
pedagogy allows students to realize much
sooner how Newton’s laws of motion can be
used to analyze problems.
• Where appropriate, sample problems are
solved using both scalar and vector notations
allowing for increased problem-solving skills.
• Equilibrium analysis of problems is uniquely
taught using three steps: (1) how to draw free-
body diagrams; (2) how to analyze problems
using given free-body diagrams; (3) how
to perform complete problem analyses by
combining the previous two steps.
• The solutions of sample problems that require
equilibrium analyses are discussed using a
unique and orderly technique using three
general subdivisions: (1) Method of Analysis;
(2) Mathematical Details; (3) Other Methods of
Analysis.
• The equilibrium analysis of a single body and
connected bodies (often referred to as “frames
and machines”) are discussed in detail in a
single comprehensive chapter.
• Sample problems requiring numerical
integration are included.

as applied in fluid mechanics and heat transfer).
The book provides the appropriate amount
of material for non-mechanical engineering
students. Addressing various levels of difficulty,
the authors provide a wealth of examples and
exercises, including synthesis problems and
design problems.

Written in an informal, first-person writing
style that makes abstract concepts easier
to understand, Principles of Engineering
Thermodynamics promises to transform the
way students learn thermodynamics. While
continuing to provide strong coverage of
fundamental principles and applications, the
book asks students to explore how changes in
a particular parameter can change a device’s
or process’s performance. This approach helps
them develop a better understanding of how
to apply thermodynamics in their future careers
and a stronger intuitive feel for how the different
components of thermodynamics are interrelated.
Throughout the book, students are encouraged
to develop computer-based models of devices,
processes, and cycles and to take advantage
of the speed of Internet-based programs and
computer apps to find thermodynamic data, just
as practicing engineers do.
Key Features:
• Well-placed and practical examples in every
chapter help students understand the use
of thermodynamics in solving engineering
problems.
• The author uses a methodical approach (clear
explanations, real world examples, and a
wealth of exercises) to help students learn a
process for solving problems.
• Software is used to develop graphs and show
trends, helping students develop engineering
judgment.
• The book is software-neutral so students can
use any package they are familiar with (for
example, MATLAB, Mathcad or free web
9
 MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
software).
• Steam tables are included in the appendix,
but the emphasis is on using software to solve
thermodynamic problems.

Principles of Heat Transfer was first published in
1959, and since then it has grown to be considered
a classic within the field, setting the standards
for coverage and organization within all other
Heat Transfer texts. The book is designed for
a one-semester course in heat transfer at the
junior or senior level, however, flexibility in
pedagogy has been provided. Following several
recommendations of the ASME Committee on
Heat Transfer Education, Kreith, Manglik, and
Bohn present relevant and stimulating content
in this fresh and comprehensive approach to
heat transfer. They acknowledge that in today’s
world, classical mathematical solutions to heat
transfer problems are often less influential than
computational analysis. This acknowledgement
is met with the emphasize that students must
still learn to appreciate both the physics and the
elegance of simple mathematics in addressing
complex phenomena, aiming at presenting
the principles of heat transfer both within the
framework of classical mathematics and empirical
correlations.
New to This Edition
• The Mathcad approach used in previous
editions has been replaced by MATLAB, found
within the chapter on numerical analysis, as
well as in the illustrative problems and real
world applications of heat transfer included in
several chapters.

of Mechanical Engineering in the College
of Engineering and Applied Science at the
University of Cincinnati. Dr. Manglik is a
Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers as well as of the Wessex Institute of
Great Britain. He has received many honors
from both industry and academia.
• Newer applications, illustrative modeling
examples, and more current state-of-the art
predictive correlations have been added in
several chapters.

Mechanisms and Machines is designed to serve as a
core textbook for the mechanisms and machines
course, targeting junior level mechanical
engineering students. The book is written with the
aim of providing a complete, yet concise, text that
can be covered in a single-semester course. The
primary goal of the text is to introduce students to
the synthesis and analysis of planar mechanisms
and machines using a method well suited to
computer programming, known as the Vector
Loop Method. Author Michael Stanisic’s approach
of teaching synthesis first and then going into
analysis will enable students to actually grasp
the mathematics behind mechanism design. The
book uses the Vector Loop Method and kinematic
coefficients throughout, and exhibits a seamless
continuity in presentation that is a rare find in
engineering texts. The multitude of examples
in the book covers a large variety of problems
and delineates an excellent problem solving
methodology.
Key Features
• A large number of automotive-based
examples are included in the text: a highly
engaging feature for students!
• This is the only text that consistently uses the
Vector Loop Method throughout.
• Subject matter is presented entirely in terms
of kinematic coefficients, including geartrains,
mechanical advantage, limit positions and
dead positions.
• The final two chapters deal with mechanism
synthesis and stand apart from the first seven
chapters which focus on analysis.
• Various chapters end with exercises,
programming problems, design problems,
and relevant appendices where applicable.

Featuring outstanding coverage of both linear
and non-linear single-degree-of-freedom and
multi-degree-of-freedom systems, this book
teaches the use of vibration principles in a broad
spectrum of applications. In this introduction
for undergraduate students, authors Balakumar
Balachandran and Edward B. Magrab present
vibration principles in a general context and
illustrate the use of these principles through
carefully chosen examples from different
disciplines. Their balanced approach integrates
principles of linear and nonlinear vibrations with
modeling, analysis, prediction, and measurement,
so that physical understanding of the vibratory
phenomena and their relevance for engineering
design can be emphasized. The authors also
provide design guidelines that are applicable
to a wide range of vibratory systems. MATLAB is
thoroughly integrated throughout the text.
Key Features
• Examples are relevant to theoretical
discussions and are drawn from a wide range
of applications: biomechanics, electronic
circuit boards, machines, machining processes,
micromechanical devices, and structures.
• Natural progression from linear to nonlinear
systems.
• Integration of analysis, modeling, prediction
and design, so students do not develop
artificial distinctions between these various
tools.

COMSOL Multiphysics® software is one of the most
valuable software modeling tools for engineers
and scientists. This book is designed for engineers
from the fields of mechanical, electrical, and
civil disciplines, and introduces multiphysics
modeling techniques and examples accompanied
by practical applications using COMSOL 4.x. The
main objective is to introduce readers to use
COMSOL as an engineering tool for modeling by
solving examples that could become a guide for
modeling similar or more complicated problems.
The objective is to provide a collection of examples
and modeling guidelines through which readers
can build their own models. Readers are assumed
to be familiar with the principles of numerical
modeling and the finite element method (FEM).
The book takes a flexible-level approach for
presenting the materials along with using practical
examples. The mathematical fundamentals,
engineering principles, and design criteria are
presented as integral parts of examples. At the
end of each chapter are references that contain
more in-depth physics, technical information, and
data; these are referred to throughout the book
and used in the examples. COMSOL for Engineers
could be used to complement another text that
provides background training in engineering
computations and methods. Examples provided
in this book should be considered as “lessons” for
which background physics could be explained in
more detail.
