In this book, I will discuss only the most common errors that appear on engineering drawings and the basic usage and understanding of the most frequently used drawings. All drawings will contain errors, but if you can eliminate many of those errors before the engineering design checker or your supervisor reviews your drawing, it will go through much easier. Your reputation is at stake! Your supervisor and the engineering design checker will see everyone's work and know their errors. They know your weak areas and who produces good work and who doesn't. It is helpful to know what they look for--or should be looking for.
Words and acronyms are the heart of all communication, especially in all branches of engineering technology. Unfortunately, complete and accurate interpretations are not always prevalent. Yet such terms form legal contracts between different parties--parties such as subcontractors, vendors, customers, and manufacturers. For providers of engineering and related services use these words to convey a specific intent. Thus, it is imperative that all parties have a complete understanding of these words and acronyms. Readers will find within this book the complete and proper definition of most common words that are used within the engineering business world. Knowing their proper application can result in uniform interpretation of requirements, which can potentially save companies millions of dollars. The improper interpretation of "Regardless of Feature Size" versus "Maximum Material Condition" can result in expensive parts being thrown in the scrap bin.
This essential reference defines the principle and most commonly used terms found in engineering documents and drawings across multiple disciplines and explains them in plain, unambiguous English. Concise Dictionary of Engineering: A Guide to the Language of Engineering also distinguishes how some terms take on different meanings in different engineering contexts—critical knowledge when working on collaborative projects with diverse elements and colleagues. Based on an edition developed for researchers and technicians at Lockheed Martin, each entry in this volume is written in clear, everyday English without confusing jargon and “techno-speak.” The book is ideal for students, professional engineers, industrial personnel, managers and anyone else who requires a solid understanding of the language of engineers.
This concise reference helps readers avoid the most commonplace errors in generating or interpreting engineering drawings. Applicable across multiple disciplines, Hanifan’s lucid treatment of such essential skills as understanding and conveying data in a drawing, exacting precision in dimension and tolerance notations, and selecting the most-appropriate drawing type for a particular engineering situation, “Perfecting Engineering and Technical Drawing” is an valuable resource for practicing engineers, engineering technologists, and students. Provides straightforward explanation of the requirements for all common engineering drawing types Maximizes reader understanding of engineering drawing requirements, differentiating the types of drawings and their particular characteristics Elucidates electrical reference designation requirements, geometric dimensioning, and tolerancing errors Explains the entire engineering documentation process from concept to delivery

The power of nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, for characterizing molecules dissolved in solution is widely acknowledged and NMR forms an essential component of undergraduate chemistry degrees. However, the application of NMR to the solid state is much less well appreciated. This text sets out the fundamental principles of solid-state NMR, explaining how NMR in solids differs from that in solution, showing how the various interactions of NMR can be manipulated to yield high-resolution spectra and to give information on local structure and dynamics in solids. This book aims to take some of the mystique out of solid-state NMR by providing a comprehensible discussion of the methodology, includin...
Finite Element Analysis is a very popular, computer-based tool that uses a complex system of points called nodes to make a grid called a "mesh. " The mesh contains the material and structural properties that define how the structure will react to certain loading conditions, allowing virtual testing and analysis of stresses or changes applied to the material or component design. This groundbreaking text extends the usefulness of finite element analysis by helping both beginners and advanced users alike. It simplifies, improves, and extends both the finite element method while at the same time advancing adaptive refinement procedures. These improvements are made possible due to a change in not...
Chemical sensors are integral to the automation of myriad industrial processes and everyday monitoring of such activities as public safety, engine performance, medical therapeutics, and many more. This 4 volume reference work covering simulation and modeling will serve as the perfect complement to Momentum Press's 6 volume reference works 'Chemical Sensors: Fundamentals of Sensing Materials' and 'Chemical Sensors: Comprehensive Sensor Technologies', which present detailed information related to materials, technologies, construction and application of various devices for chemical sensing. This 4 volume comprehensive reference work analyzes approaches used for computer simulation and modeling ...
