Introduction to Quantum Mechanics 2th Edition

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics 2th Edition
David J. Griffiths | 2004-04-10 00:00:00 | | 0 | Mechanical Engineering
I used this text book for my undergraduate quantum mechanics class. In that class, we covered basically everything in Griffiths. I have since gone on to graduate school. I have found myself very well prepared and I still use Griffiths as a reference because it explains basic ideas and basic problems better than most other text books. More importantly, it provided me with a good foundation for further study.
This text book is a great introductory text book. It is a text book for students for whom quantum mechanics is a new subject. It is not a text book for people who already know any significant amount of quantum mechanics, nor is it a great text to use for independent study (unless you work the problems and have some way of checking yourself.)
Shankar is too advanced for most students new to the subject. It's also too much material to cover in a standard two semester course where the material is completely new. The only school I know of which uses it is Yale, and they count on students having a stronger background than most students at most schools have. Moreover, I know from personal experience that teachers at Yale focus on getting students to calculate the right answer rather than developing a solid understanding of the ideas behind the physics.

Supercharging, Turbocharging and Nitrous Oxide Performance (Motorbooks Workshop)

Supercharging, Turbocharging and Nitrous Oxide Performance (Motorbooks Workshop)
Earl Davis and Diane Davis | 1900-01-01 00:00:00 | Motorbooks; First edition (January 28, 2002) | 160 | Mechanical Engineering
For hardcore DIY enthusiasts, one of the more popular means of increasing an engines output is with the use of forced induction systemssuperchargers, turbochargers and nitrous-oxide set-ups that pressurize the engines fuel-air mixture.

Fatigue of Structures and Materials

Fatigue of Structures and Materials
J. Schijve | 2009-01-01 00:00:00 | springer | 616 | Mechanical Engineering
This book is primarily a textbook written for people working on fatigue problems of engineering structures and materials associated with design, predictions, load spectra and experimental verifications. Many different fields of interest are involved, as the block diagram on the front cover indicates. It is of great importance that all these aspects are well recognized and understood. The author explains the various topics in a number of chapters. Understanding of thefatigue phenomena covering both crack initiation and crack growth is emphasized in view of possible influences of design variables, material selection, production technology and load spectra on thefatigue performance of a structure. Prediction methods for fatigue lives and fatigue crack growth are discussed as well as verification by experiments. Load spectra analysis and statistical aspects are also addressed.

The first edition of this book was well received and has been used extensively in various courses taught to staff members and students of universities and other technical colleges as well as in industries and at research institutes. Therefore it was considered time for a second edition. In general, the format of the first edition of the book has been maintained, but the whole text has been carefully revised. A major change is the CD which is now attached to the book. The CD contains exercises on all chapters which can be used in courses, but also for self-tuition and examinations. Secondly, the CD also includes more detailed information on design againstfatigue, prediction scenarios, fatigue experiments (how and why), fractography, and analysis of case histories. Two survey papers from the literature have also been added.

Summary: Review for: Fatigue of Structures and Materials
Rating: 5

Jaap is well know in the fatigue community and this book is a great reference for all that work with fatigue.

Fuel Injection

Fuel Injection
Daniela Siano | 2010-01-01 00:00:00 | Sciyo | 254 | Mechanical Engineering
Fuel Injection is a key process characterizing the combustion development within Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) and in many other industrial applications. State of the art in the research and development of modern fuel injection systems are presented in this book. It consists of 12 chapters focused on both numerical and experimental techniques, allowing its proper design and optimization.
