Product Description
Solve any mechanical engineering problem quickly and easily with the world's leading engineering handbook
Nearly 1800 pages of mechanical engineering facts, figures, standards, and practices, 2000 illustrations, and 900 tables clarifying important mathematical and engineering principle, and the collective wisdom of 160 experts help you answer any analytical, design, and application question you will ever have.
Book Description
The 10th Edition of this classic handbook--known among engineers simply as ``Marks'' is thoroughly revised and updated to offer mechanical and design engineers pratical, in-depth coverage of every aspect of mechanical engineering. This revision provides quick access to over 100 vital topics in such areas as mathematics--mechanics of solids and fuels--heat--materials handling--transportation--fans, pumps, and compressors--electrical and electronics engineering--instruments and controls--industrial engineering--and more. This edition features: major revisions of the entire contents involving 50 new contributors; state-of-the-art engineering data and methods, including masterful new material on environmental issues, iron and steel (including stainless steel), nonferrous materials, friction, and fluid film bearings--written by the leading names in each field; brief but helpful tips on engineering practice compiled by the editors in response to readers' queries--a helpful new feature.

Given: h = height; c = chord. To find the diameter of the circle, the length of arc, or the area of the segment, form the ratio h/c, and find from the table the value of (diam/c), (arc/c); then, by a simple multiplication, diam = c x (diam/c) arc = c x (arc/c) area = h x c x (area/h x c) Read the first page

Format:Hardcover
A very generalized, but complete manual covering all topics in the mechanical engineering field. All descriptions and explanations are kept brief and to the point. The explanations are just enough to make the reader understand the basics of what is needed for comprehension. The material is well organised. A good choice for a desktop reference book.

Mark's offers the widest array of subjects of any of the handbooks I've used. It has consistently provided concise and readable summaries on any engineering topic. It is the most frequently used book on my shelf.

Format:Hardcover
I was an indifferent Engineering student. I spent way too much time socialising and not enough time studying. Lectures frustrated me and in hindsight I think the lectures frustrated the lecturers even more. Highly intelligent professional engineers who were bored almost as much by the basics as we were.
We focused on the exams and on our project work. The effort put into any chapter was dictated by the syllabus. I eventually qualified, I think they eventually got bored of seeing me around and I co-operated by memorising enough to jump through the hoops.
But I eventually got a real engineering job and "Marks" became my best friend for years. The one really disturbing thing about academia is that they rarely tell you what is really really important and what is not. But a book like Marks is forced to concentrate whole semesters into one or two pages. It does this really really well, If I knew someone going to college now I would give them a copy of Marks and tell them to study the topic at the beginning of a term so that they could get an eagle eye view before getting bogged down on the nitty gritty.
This is the edition I had, the text was not in SI but as I was working in the US at the time this was not important. I still pull it down every so often. I now planning to get the latest edition, be interesting to see the progress in the world in the last 20 years.
