An Engineering Companion to the Mechanics of Materials: A Systems Approach Author(s): Christopher Jenkins and Sanjeev Khanna
ABOUT THE BOOK An Engineering Companion to Mechanics of Materials is the first volume in the Momentum Press collection The Modern Engineering Companions: A Systems Approach. In this book, the authors apply the intuitive “systems approach” to learning, the advantages of which are several. The student first gets a broad overview of the entire subject rather than the narrow piecemeal vision afforded by the traditional “component approach” common to most engineering texts. Mechanics of Materials comes with additional features to improve student learning, including Common Confusing Concepts (C3) noted and clarified, indication of key concepts, side bar discussions, worked examples, and exercises for developing engineering intuition. The Companions are intended as a supplementary resource to help both undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students better learn and understand engineering concepts.

Manufacturing Excellence: Renewal and Rebirth Author(s): Kenneth N. McKay and Vincent C.S. Wiers
ABOUT THE BOOK Following on a previous book by the authors that focused on operational matters, this new book focuses on the tactical level of factory management, with a particular theme of flexible innovation—in both technology and management—for a factory to survive and be successful in the 21st Century. The book is written in a narrative structure, using two fictional characters to tell the story of a factory moving from the “old ways” of doing things to new ways that melds the tools of agile and lean manufacturing with supply chain management and quality engineering and directed personnel development. The two characters narrate the challenges, the changes, the obstacles, and the successes they face over a two year period of critical evolution in how the factory is conceived and operated.

Auger Electron Spectroscopy: Practical Application to Materials Analysis and Characterization of Surfaces, Interfaces, and Thin Films Author(s): John Wolstenholme
ABOUT THE BOOK This book discusses the use of AES and SAM for the characterization of a wide range of technological materials. These include metals and alloys, semiconductors, nanostructures, and insulators. Its value as a tool for high-resolution elemental imaging and compositional depth profiling is illustrated. The application of the technique for obtaining compositional information from the surfaces, interfaces, and thin film structures of technological and engineering materials is demonstrated.
This volume also describes the basic physical principles of AES in simple, largely qualitative, terms understandable by any undergraduate science or engineering student. Major components of typical Auger spectrometers are also described because an understanding of the instrumentation is important to anyone wishing to become a skilled analyst. Mention is also made of other types of analysis for which an Auger electron spectrometer may be used, for example, secondary electron microscopy, backscattered electron imaging, X-ray spectroscopy. The relationship between AES and other analysis techniques is also discussed.

Concise Overview of the Finite Element Method Author(s): John O. Dow
ABOUT THE BOOK Solutions to complex engineering problems in mechanics are almost always based upon approximations. But approximations can lead to widely erroneous solutions if not guided by proper assumptions and modeling methods. The primary objective of this book is to provide a compact, intuitive and theoretically solid presentation of a procedure for producing approximate solutions with a predefined level of accuracy. The book focuses on the finite element method and is particularly aimed at readers new to the method. The book will also provide new research opportunities for both new and experienced practitioners by showing that a change in notation currently used to form the finite element stiffness matrices can be replaced with coefficients that are expressed in terms of strain quantities. As a consequence, the resulting equations are directly related to the theory of solid mechanics.

A Systems Approach to Modeling Community Development Projects Author(s): Bernard Amadei
ABOUT THE BOOK This book will introduce the reader to system dynamic tools to better understand how to account for uncertainty and complexity when conducting development-engineering projects. All communities, whether in the developed and developing world, are characterized by their dynamic behavior (change over time), involve multiple players with various interests, have members that interact with each other, and interact with other groups. Since such characteristics cannot be measured using linear and predictable tools, the author aims to demonstrate how systems thinking can be used in development projects. Specifically, how four emergent properties: sustainability, resilience, peace, and poverty could be simulated using existing systems tools. Many traditional projects in developing communities fail after implementation as a result of a lack of innovation, and foresight. These projects have traditionally been designed, planned and implemented in a specialized, compartmentalized and linear manner by multiple experts, who have failed to view all aspects of the problem they're trying to solve.
