Designed for a one-semester course in Finite Element Method, this compact and well-organized text presents FEM as a tool to find approximate solutions to differential equations. This provides the student a better perspective on the technique and its wide range of applications. This approach reflects the current trend as the present-day applications range from structures to biomechanics to electromagnetics, unlike in conventional texts that view FEM primarily as an extension of matrix methods of structural analysis. After an introduction and a review of mathematical preliminaries, the book gives a detailed discussion on FEM as a technique for solving differential equations and variational formulation of FEM. This is followed by a lucid presentation of one-dimensional and two-dimensional finite elements and finite element formulation for dynamics. The book concludes with some case studies that focus on industrial problems and Appendices that include mini-project topics based on near-real-life problems. Postgraduate/Senior undergraduate students of civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineering will find this text extremely useful; it will also appeal to the practising engineers and the teaching community.

About the Book: Basic Electrical Engineering has been written as a core course for all engineering students viz. electronics and communication engineering, computer engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering etc. Since this course will normally be offered at the first year level of engineering, the author has made modest effort to give in a concise form, various features of Basic Electrical Engineering using simple language and through solved examples, avoiding the rigorous of mathematics. The salient features of this edition D.C. Circuits along with Ohms law and Kirchhoff's laws explained. Faradays laws of electromagnetic induction, Lenz's law, Hysteresis losses and eddy current losses have been discussed. Steady state analysis of a.c. circuits explained. Network theorems explained using typical examples. Analysis of 3-phase circuits and measurement of power in these circuits explained. Measuring instruments like ammeter, voltmeter, wattmeter and energy meter described. Various electrical machines viz. transformers, d.c. machines, single phase and three phase induction motors, synchronous, machines, servomotors have been described. A brief view of power system including conventional and non-conventional sources of electric energy is given. Domestic wiring has been discussed. Numerous solved examples and practice problems for thorough grasp of the subject presented. A large number of multiple choice questions with answer given. Contents: D.C. Circuits Electromagnetic Induction A.C. Circuits Network Theory Three Phase Supply Basic Instruments Transformer D.C. Machines Three-Phase Synchronous Machines Three-Phase Induction Motors Single Phase Induction Motors Power System Domestic Wiring

Based on a 15-year successful approach to teaching aircraft flight mechanics at the US Air Force Academy, this text explains the concepts and derivations of equations for aircraft flight mechanics. It covers aircraft performance, static stability, aircraft dynamics stability and feedback control.

This book, in its third edition, continues to focus on the basics of civil engineering and engineering mechanics to provide students with a balanced and cohesive study of the two areas (as needed by them in the beginning of their engineering education). A basic undergraduate textbook for the first-year students of all branches of engineering, this book is specifically designed to conform to the syllabus of Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU). Imparting the basic knowledge in various facets of civil engineering and the related engineering structures and infrastructure such as buildings, roads, highways, dams and bridges, the third edition covers the engineering mechanics portion in eleven chapters. Each chapter introduces the concepts to the reader, stepwise. Providing a wealth of practice examples, the book emphasizes the importance of building strong analytical skills. Practice problems, at the end of each chapter, give students an opportunity to absorb concepts and hone their problem-solving skills. The book comes with a companion CD containing the software developed using MS-Excel, to work out the problems on Forces, Centroid, Friction and Moment of Inertia. The use of this software will enable the students to understand the concepts in a relatively better way. NEW TO THIS EDITION • Introduces a chapter on Kinematics as per the revised Civil Engineering syllabus of VTU • Updates with the latest examination Question Papers, including the one held in the month of December 2013
