Engineering Mechanics and Design Applications: Interdisciplinary Engineering Fundamentals

By Atila Ertas and Bugra H. Ertas

Engineering Mechanics and Design Applications, Second Edition, provides a concise summary of the fundamental principles of mechanics, including statics, dynamics, strength of materials, and failure analysis. This updated edition introduces key improvements, such as adjustments to all figures for enhanced clarity, a new Chapter 6 on vibrations in design and rotordynamics, expanded content on convergence of mechanic fundamentals in design, and a new introduction to clarify the book's purpose and scope.

This edition serves as a practical resource for understanding the mechanical aspects of engineering design. It begins with an overview of Prevention through Design (PtD), addressing occupational safety and health considerations in the design process. The book also includes condensed introductions to engineering statics, dynamics, and solid mechanics, as well as failure theories and dynamic loadings. Real-life examples and applications, including four open-ended design projects, demonstrate how transdisciplinary engineering knowledge can be applied effectively in practice, making this an essential reference for engineers working in collaborative environments.

Ideal for industry professionals and advanced graduate students, this book equips readers with the knowledge needed to understand the fundamentals of engineering mechanics and apply these principles in real-world scenarios. This edition provides the tools to collaborate effectively and succeed in complex engineering projects, including those without a mechanical engineering background.
