great book for those less worried about theory
This book came in very handy as a compliment to Meriam's contribution (5th edition).For those of us less technically-minded, yet required to take courses such as engineering dynamics, this book left the theory and procedural derivations to another day so that at first by practice may understanding come about.When I couldn't quite comprehend what Meriam's book said, I found my answer in this book.There are better (ahem, simpler) explanations of not only the ideas but the math as well, a major help to someone increasingly out of practice, however the appendices are weak so don't look to them for much review.Answers to odd-numbered problems are provided.Note: This book doesn't make the learning easy, it just softens the blow sufficiently. ...

An excellent book, easy to read and follow
I have to agree with the other reviewers, this book is very handy, and easy to read.It covers quite a lot of ground for a pocket manual, which is great. A classic reborn!
Audel books have been around forever, but I could never find a revision, at least not of this really well-known book for my toolbox. I had an old copy, but it was really out of date. I'm recommending this new one to all the other guys in the shop!

excellent reference source
this book contains a ton of quick references for alot of things you will use if your in the mechanical trades, or industrial maintenance. some of them are,drawing and print sysmbols,all about belts,chains,gears and couplings,seals,bearings,and pumps, rigging information and techniques,piping andallowances for elbows,couplings,unions ect,sprinkler systems, and a whole lot of other references to other things i cant list here because of time. im in industrial maintenance and i know ill use mine alot. its also very easy to read and understand. ...

This is not the newest edition......
Be careful with this purchase, because, although the price
EXPENSIVE ??- THINK AGAIN !!
This is the BICYCLE REPAIR/MAINTENCE BIBLE!!!
Best bicycle repair manuals out there !!
At over 1000 pages (grease-resistant), a binding format that separates this massive book into four easy-to-handle volumes (and allows you to transfer the pages to a ring-binder, if preferred), every little detail the novice needs, all the advanced information the experienced mechanic wants, quick-find chapter dividers, and comprehensive coverage of all parts of the bike and all technologies are just some of the features that make this manual the bicycle tool you can't do without.

Run away
I found this book difficult to read and the example problems did not help with the homework problems.I went to return this book after taking Dynamics to find out that an 8th edition is being released and the book store would only offer my $7.25 for a book I paid well over $100.00.The fact that an 8th edition is being release so soon tells me that this book is flawed and being rewritten.

Disappointed
While the theory is somehow digestible, the problems are way too difficult and out of the real world. TO THE AUTHORS:When you imagine a mechanical system to be analyzed, try to make it real, not weird. Set as unknown the parameters that cannot be measured not those that can.Please, don't distort the engineering thinking of our students.(By the way: Fig. B.1 on page 1297 shows a crankshaft not a camshaft! Your solutions to problems 16.107 and 16.108 in the Instructor's Manual do not include the normal acceleration of the clamp.Energy Conservation when applied to Prob. 16.108 gives a term in omega^2).

Good Book
I used this book for the course of Dynamics in Civil Engineering.It was the textbook of my class.The examples are basic, and show you how to use the basic principles of dynamics to solve the more challeging problems at the end of each chapter.I enjoyed a lot this book, and I recommend it to everyone. ...

Not bad as a reference
This books deals with all kinds of manipulators. It has a good amount of math but looks not enough and not easy to understand (I did not go into the math details). I think this book would be a good reference in your library where it has a good amount of advanced information about manipulators.

a branch of applied maths
For decades, physics and engineering undergraduates have used texts on classical mechanics that often contained what some students might consider to be abstruse ideas, with little everyday usage. But this book on robotics is a worthy rejoinder. It can be regarded as an advanced text in classical mechanics.

Where's the useful stuff?
You could spend the rest of your life reading this book! It would be useful for any professor or A student or other intellectual studying the material in depth. But for a practicing engineer who has little available time to ponder the specifics, it would take a "lot" of effort to find material that could be put to work in this text. If you are interested in deriving the equations you need yourself, or if you're analysing a unique design, then this is the book for you. But if you are busy with standardized systems and technology, find another reference.

A Misleading Description
I was expecting more tables and equations especially for natural convection external flow.There is also very little useful information about forced convection external flow.I also would have liked to see some sample calculations to demonstrate how to use this book better.
Reference book for engineers
This is not an introductory book on heat transfer! Instead it is a thorough treatment on heat transfer in a stringent an extensive manner. This book places greater emphasis on correctness than "easy-to-understand-ness". However, if you do read it, you gain a lot compared to most introductory heat transfer books. If you are interested in forced convection heat transfer, this book gives well documented equations and charts for a great number of shapes, though mostly internal flow. This is a very serious book for serious engineers! ... Read more

CFD Bible
I refer to this book as my CFD bible.I first used this book approximately 19 years ago as part of a two semester course in CFD.Since that time, I have refered to this book often.
A very good book
The book is one of best books in Computational Fluid Mechanics And Heat Transfer area I have read. It not only covers basic knowledge but also talk a lot about advanced technique about CFD. It is very helpful for students just like me. After I bought this book by using a discount from coupons-center.com, I have used the book for one year. I also found CFD code is very helpful. If you are beginner to CFD coding or want to some free code as reference, this book has many good code examples. you can learn from the code examples and then can easily make your CFD code.

Must have
I learnt CFD on this book. Definitively I give it 5 star, unfortunately I can't give it 6. It covers all the CFD from the beginning to the advance level. You will use it as an undergraduate, graduate, PhD, post doctorate researcher. No kidding. There are some codes, the book contains all the information you need, it is easy to read, never criptic like many others. I suggest you to buy this book without any esitation if you are really wanting to learn and do CFD. There are more specific books on some arguments, say, turbulence, but none is more comprehensive and well written like this one. ... Read more

Needs Improving
I used this text in an elective on electrical machines and found the book very difficult to learn from.Readability is not bad.The writing is fine and easy enough to follow but the equations in the text were frequently the wrong equation for the topic.Several tables had eroneous information.While most text books contain some errata, this book contained more than any of the dozens of engineering books in my personal library.None of the end of chapter problems had any answers in order to check work.While only a nuisance, example problems in the text would reference a machine from several chapters back, requiring the reader to flip back and forth to understand the situation of the current example.I did appreciate the fact that the book includes matlab examples and exercises as to aid understanding with simulations.

Complete without being difficult
This book may be considered a reference in the study of electric machines, because it brings the main aspects of electromechanical energy conversion devices without being difficult to understand. Its way for explaining therelations of power/current/torque in induction machines is the best oneI've seen in any book.

This is by far my favorite book on conduction.Very clear exposition on all topics raging from the classic method of separation of variables to integral transform.However i must warn that this is a book of how to solve partial differential equation of heat conduction.The reader looking for physics explanation should buy the excellent book from arpaci.

Good book on design & analysis for the engineer
Mechatronics represents a process that blends mechanics and electronics with use of precision engineering, computer science, information technology, control system theory, and sensor and actuator technology to design improved products and processes. This book, unlike many in the field, is aimed at upper level undergraduate engineers, not hobbyists or technicians. Therefore a certain amount of mathematical maturity is required.The objectives of this book are:

Skimming the Surface
This book is a very general view from a very British perspective.I don't think it belongs in Embry-Riddle's graduate programs because it does not meet the needs of experienced professionals.As an undergraduate overview of the systems design process, it is good.However, the author does not even touch helicopters, seaplanes, or lighter-than-air-technology.So, the book would be more aptly named "Introduction to Airplane Design."
No substance
I consider this book to be a rough draft for a much larger book to come (I hope).The author just skims lightly through vast numbers of subjects, so that anyone who knows anything about airplanes will learn nothing new.Yet it isn't written on a basic enough level to have much to offer someone who knows nothing. Practical guide to aircraft design
Many aircraft design books detail the 'how' of aircraft design. For example, determining the stall characteristics of a conceptual aircraft design. John Flemings' book introduces the 'why' of the aircraft designprocess. This book is a perfect companion to other aircraft design texts,like 'Aircraft Design-a conceptual approach' by Daniel Raymer ... Read more
