Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering

This manual introduces the fundamental concepts and applications of mechanical engineering.

The manual starts with an introduction to the principles of mechanical drawings such as tolerances, symbols, sections, CAD, etc. This is followed by a discussion on the mechanical behaviour of engineering materials, e.g.stress and strain, fatigue, fracture, creep and corrosion.

Practical fundamentals of mechanical design and manufacturing methods are discussed. Principles of mechanical automation as it is typically found in industry are presented with the focus on the application of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

The manual also introduces the various aspects of fluid engineering e.g. pumps, pipes, valves, compressors and others.
