First Published in 1916, Marks', in it's various forms, has served the engineering world for 90 years, providing quick access to information in mathematics, mechanics of solids and fluids, heat, materials, fuels and furnaces, machine elements, power generation, materials handling, transportation, fans, pumps, compressors, electrical and electronics engineering, instruments and controls, industrial engineering, and more. Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, 11th Edition, has been updated to serve a new generation of engineers by reflecting the new technological era, an electronic era where mechanical engineers are more interested in nanotechnology, six sigma and more. . . rather than more mature topics and technologies. All descriptions and explanations are kept brief and to the point. The explanations are just enough to help you understand the basics of what is needed for comprehension.
Nearly 1800 pages of mechanical engineering facts, figures, standards and practices; 2,000 illustrations and 900 tables clarify every important mathematical and engineering principle. With the collective knowledge of over 160 experts, Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, 11th Edition, will help you answer any analytical, design and application questions you'll ever have with the most up-to-date engineering data available in a single source on networks, software, bar coding, electronic distance measurement, LSI and FLSI chips, optical design and much more.
Features:
- The 11th edition is an update to the 10th edition featuring new information on nanotechnology, electronics, materials engineering, biotechnology, and more.
- 30 percent new information.
- Continues to rely heavily on tabular and graphic presentations.
From the Preface
The evolutionary trends underlying modern engineering practice are grounded not only on the tried and true principles and techniques of the past, but also on more recent and current advances. Thus, in the preparation of the eleventh edition of "Marks'," the editors have considered the broad enterprise falling under the rubric of "Mechanical Engineering" and have added to and/or amended the contents to include subject areas that will be of maximum utility to the practicing engineer. That said, the editors note that the publication of this eleventh edition has been accomplished through the combined and coordinated efforts of contributors, readers, and the editors.
First, we recognize, with pleasure, the input from our many contributors - past, continuing and those newly engaged. Their contributions have been prepared with care, and are authoritative, informative, and concise.
Second, our readers, who are practitioners in their own wise, have found that the global treatment of the subjects presented in the "Marks:" permits of great utility and serves as a convenient ready reference. The reading public has had access to Marks' since 1916, when Lionel S Marks edited the first edition. This eleventh edition follows 90 years later. During the intervening years, Marks' and the Handbook for Mechanical Engineers have become synonymous to a wide readership which includes mechanical engineers, engineers in the associated disciplines, and others. Our readership derives from a wide spectrum of interests, and it appears many find the Marks' useful as they pursue their professional endeavors.
The editors consider it a given that every successive edition must balance the requests to broaden the range or depth of subject matter printed, the incorporation of new material which will be useful to the widest possible audience, and the requirement to keep the size of the Handbook reasonable and manageable. We are aware that the current engineering practitioner learns quickly that the revolutionary developments of the recent past soon become standard practice. By the same token, it is prudent to realize that as a consequence of rapid developments, some cutting-edge technologies prove to have a short shelf life and soon are regarded as obsolescent - if not obsolete.
The editors are fortunate to have had, from time to time, input from readers and reviewers, who have proffered cogent commentary and suggestions; a number are included in this edition. Indeed, the synergy between editors, contributors, and readers has been instrumental in the continuing usefulness of successive editions of Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers.
The reader will note that a considerable portion of the tabular data and running text continue to be presented in dual units, i.e., USCS and SI. The date for a projected full transition to SI units is not yet firm, and the Marks' reflects that. We look to the future in that regard.
