Engineering Mechanics and Design Applications - Ertas, Atila

. .

Résumé :
During the last decade, there has been an explosion of complex problems facing engineers, and the technical knowledge required to address these problems continues to evolve rapidly. Ideal as a concise reference for anyone studying to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam or preparing to work in collaborative engineering projects, this book thoroughly covers the basic knowledge necessary for engineering design. It discusses Prevention through Design and offers a condensed introduction to the fundamentals of statics, dynamics, vibrations, and strength of materials. The book also includes examples of design applications that integrate the topics covered in the chapters....

Biographie:

Dr. Atila Ertas, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Texas Tech University, Lubbock, USA, has been a driving force behind the conception and the development of the transdisciplinary model for education and research. He established The Academy for Transdisciplinary Learning and Advanced Studies (TheATLAS), the George Kozmetsky Endowment (GKE), and International Transdisciplinary Scientists' Village (Its-Village) as nonprofit organizations that encourage transdisciplinary research and educational activities. He also developed the Transdisciplinary Master of Engineering and PhD Programs on Design, Process, and Systems in conjunction with the Raytheon Company in Dallas, Texas.

Dr. Ertas is the founder and was the first co-editor-in-chief of Transdisciplinary Journal of Integrated Design & Process Science (JIDPS), Co-founder of the Integrated Design & Process Technology Conference (IDPT), co-founder of the ASME Engineering Systems and Design Analysis (ESDA) conference, and founding president and co-founder of the Society for Design and Process Science (SDPS). He is a Senior Research Fellow of the ICC Institute at the University of Texas Austin, a Fellow of ASME, and a Fellow of SDPS.

Dr. Ertas' contributions to teaching and research have been recognized by numerous honors and awards, including a President's Excellence in Teaching and President's Academic Achievement Award...
