Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is a very broad topic. Too broad for Industrial Designers.
Important topics for Industrial Designers are: Applied Physics, Materials, Mechanics, Simulation and Finite Element Analysis.
Literature:
Applied Physics: Young & Freedman, University Physics, 13th edition.
Mechanics: Fenner R.T., Mechanics of Solids, CRC Press.
Materials: Ashby, Shercliff, Cebon, Materials: engineering, science, processing and design, Butterworth Heinemann.
Good software tools:
- Finite Element Analysis: Solidworks
- Mathematical package: Matlab
- Simulation: Simulink
- Materials: CES Edupack
CES Edupack is a materials database which contains data about approximately 3000 materials. The database contains mechanical, electrical, optical, cost price, eco, typical application and producers data.
Presentations:
Materials selection presentation
Material behavior presentation
