Mechanical Engineering Manual

This manual presents the entire world of mechanical engineering in a structured, compact, and application-oriented manner. In the updated 24th edition, specialized texts, formula collections, unit tables, and calculation examples provide reliable information and proven support for both study and professional practice. The sections on electrical engineering and machine tools have been completely revised and updated, and a new chapter on combustion has been added.

The content covers mathematics, scientific fundamentals, technical mechanics, materials science, thermodynamics, electrical engineering, basics of mechatronics, machine elements, conveyor technology, power and work machines, manufacturing processes, machine tools, programming of machine tools, control technology, regulation technology, business fundamentals, ergonomics, quality management, and production logistics.

The target audience includes students of mechanical engineering at universities of applied sciences, technical and vocational academies, as well as higher technical institutions, as well as masters, technicians, and engineers in training and practice in mechanical engineering, and industrial engineers.

The editors, Alfred Böge, an engineer and technical author, is known for his refined and convincing didactics. Wolfgang Böge, a graduate engineer and study director, has been significantly involved for many years in the content and didactic development of his father's works, Alfred Böge, particularly the Handbook of Mechanical Engineering and the Teaching and Learning System of Technical Mechanics.

The authors are experienced lecturers and teachers at universities of applied sciences, technical and vocational academies, universities, as well as engineers in responsible industrial positions.
