Download or read book The Mechanical Sciences in Antiquity written by Massimo Corradi and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-11-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of the mechanical sciences can be traced to the studies of Aristotle and Archimedes, who set forth the principles that are the basis of mechanics. However, development in successive centuries advanced but slowly, with notable progress made during the Middle Ages, and would find its complete formal development and linguistic expression only in the Renaissance.The use of elementary static systems followed different courses, tied more to empiricism and constructive technologies than to theoretical science, resolving the problems that were mentioned from time to time by the architects and builders of antiquity. Such problems, formulated from the constructive practices of architecture and by the machines for building, were resolved using those very mechanical devices that are at the basis of the discipline, without a precise knowledge of their general semantic value, but rather with a awareness of statics and constructive empiricism that validated the choices made on the building site.

Download or read book Topology Optimization in Structural Mechanics written by G.I.N. Rozvany and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-04 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topology optimization is a relatively new and rapidly expanding field of structural mechanics. It deals with some of the most difficult problems of mechanical sciences but it is also of considerable practical interest, because it can achieve much greater savings than mere cross-section or shape optimization.
Download or read book Deployable Structures written by S. Pellegrino and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deployable structures can vary their shape automatically from a compact, packaged configuration to an expanded, operational configuration. The first properly engineered deployable structures were used as stabilization booms on early spacecraft. Later on, more complex structures were devised for solar arrays, communication reflectors and telescopes. In other fields there have been a variety of developments, including retractable roofs for stadia, foldable components for cars, portable structures for temporary shelters and exhibition displays. Three main themes are discussed in this book: concepts, working principles, and mechanics of deployable structures, both in engineering and biology; in addition: theory of foldable bar structures and application to deployable tensegrieties; formulation of large-rotation analysis of deployable structures and finite-element simulation methods.
Download or read book MECHANICAL SCIENCES written by AKSHOY RANJAN PAUL and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primarily intended for the first-year undergraduate students of various engineering disciplines, this comprehensive and up-to-date text also serves the needs of second-year undergraduate students (Mechanical, Civil, Aeronautical, Chemical, Production and Marine Engineering) studying Engineering Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics. The whole text is divided into two parts and gives a detailed description of the theory along with the systematic applications of laws of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics to engineering problems. Part I (Chapters 1-6) deals with the energy interaction between system and surroundings, while Part II (Chapters 7-15) covers the fluid flow phenomena. This accessible and comprehensive text is designed to take the student from an elementary level to a level of sophistication required for the analysis of practical problems.
Download or read book Mechanical Sciences written by G. K. Lal and published by . This book was released on 1998-01 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introductory textbook covers the fundamentals of engineering mechanics (solid mechanics and fluid mechanics) and thermodynamics. The solid mechanics chapters cover the basic topics on statics, dynamics, and strength of materials. The fluid mechanics chapters deal with elementary aspects of fluid at rest and in motion. The last chapters discuss thermodynamic principles. The contents include solved examples in an attempt to clarify the topics.
Download or read book Mathematical Methods For Mechanical Sciences written by Michael S Howe and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mathematical model of a physical system provides the engineer with the insight and intuitive understanding required to make efficient system design changes or other modifications. In this context, a simple formula is often worth a thousand numerical simulations, and connections between different control parameters can be immediately revealed that might otherwise take hours or weeks to deduce from a computational analysis. This book supplies the undergraduate engineer with the basic mathematical tools for developing and understanding such models, and is also suitable as a review for engineering graduate students. A firm grasp of the topics covered will also enable the working engineer (educated to bachelor's degree level) to understand, write and otherwise make sensible use of technical reports and papers.
Download or read book The New Mechanical Philosophy written by Stuart Glennan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume argues for a new image of science that understands both natural and social phenomena to be the product of mechanisms, casting the work of science as an effort to understand those mechanisms. Glennan offers an account of the nature of mechanisms and of the models used to represent them in physical, life, and social sciences.
