Description

This illustrated dictionary provides a comprehensive coverage of terms currently used in mechanical and manufacturing engineering. Since the publication of the previous edition some ten years ago, many new terms have been added to the working engineer's vocabulary, including particularly those relating to the application of information technology, micromachining, nanotechnology and composite materials. The Dictionary of Mechanical Engineering is primarily intended for professional and student engineers. It will also be a valuable addition to the bookshelves of technical writers and journalists as well as those working in advertising, sales and marketing within an engineering environment. The definitions, whilst being technically accurate, are sufficiently straightforward, clear and concise to be understandable by the layman. Every library should have a copy. The dictionary is extensively cross-referenced for ease of use, and contains over 4,500 new terms.

Description

4th Edition. The Dictionary of Mechanical Engineering provides clearly-written, easy-to-understand definitions for over 4,500 terms. In addition to covering the more traditional areas of the field, this new edition also defines the terminology of the rapidly advancing areas of 'small size' mechanical engineering: micromachining and nanotechnology. Nomenclature used in the manufacture of composites has also been added. Extensively cross-referenced, the Dictionary is an indispensable desk reference for mechanical engineers worldwide. Co-published by SAE with Butterworth-Heinemann.
