Synopsis

The updated Revision of the Bestseller––In a more UsefulFormat!

Mechanical Engineers′ Handbook has a long tradition as a singleresource of valuable information related to specialty areas in thediverse industries and job functions in which mechanical engineerswork. This Third Edition, the most aggressive revision to date,goes beyond the straight data, formulas, and calculations providedin other handbooks and focuses on authoritative discussions,real–world examples, and insightful analyses while covering moretopics that in previous editions.

Book 2: Instrumentation, Systems, Controls, and MEMS is comprisedof two major parts, conveniently put together because feedbackcontrol systems require measurement transducers. The first partcovers instrumentation, including transducer design, strain gages,flow meters, digital integrated circuits, and issues involved inprocessing transducer signals and acquiring and displayingdata.
The second part addresses systems and control, including:
∗ Control system design, analysis, and performancemodification
∗ Design of servoactuators, controllers, and general–purposecontrol devices
∗ "New departures" in mechanical engineering, including neuralnetworks, mechatronics, and MEMS
