This new 2011 edition of the IMechE Engineers' Databook is heavily updated and replaces the previous editions of this best-selling pocket guide (1998, 2000, 2004), providing a concise and useful source of up-to-date essential information for the student or practising engineer. New material is provided on technical standards, presenting technical information, algebra & calculus, engineering logic, materials properties, manufacturing processes, anatomy of engineering design, and engineering and nature. The IMechE Engineers' Databook is divided into discrete sections, each containing specific "discipline" information. Units, conversions and basic data are covered in the earlier chapters of the book, with the later chapters dedicated to specific techniques and equipment as well as vital aspects of the structural integrity and reliability of engineering components.
