The use of computers continues to change how ma¬chine tools are used to manufacture products. Com¬puters have improved until there are now highly sophisticated units capable of controlling the opera¬tion of a single machine, a group of machines, or even a complete manufacturing plant. Section 14, "Computer-Age Machining," now includes not only computer numerical control machine tools, such a…
This book is designed for a first course in engineering materials. The field that covers this area of the engineering profession has come to be known as "materi¬als science and engineering." To me, this label serves two important functions. First, it is an accurate description of the balance between scientific principles and practical engineering that is required in selecting the proper materi…
This is not a typical textbook. Typical textbooks really serve as reference texts, a place where students can go to find information that they need. This text is . I designed with a very different goal in mind. It is a learning tool, a book that students use to help them learn. Thus, two very important philosophies underlie it: 1. Students learn by being actively engaged. The theory of const…
In preparing the seventh edition of this book, our goal continues to be to provide a comprehensive and state-of-the-art manufacturing engineering and technology text¬book, with the additional aims of motivating and challenging students in studying this important engineering discipline. As in the previous editions, the book attempts to present a broad overview, emphasizing a largely qualitative…
The field of hydrology is of fundamental importance to civil and environ-mental engineers, hydrogeologists, and other earth scientists because of the environmental significance of water supply, major floods and droughts and their management, drainage and urban stormwater issues, floodplain man¬agement, and water quality impacts. In recent years, hurricanes and storm surge have caused significa…
The fourth edition, consisting of 15 chapters, includes a number of new additions and changes that were incorporated in response to ANSYS revisions and suggestions and requests made by professors, students, and professionals using the third edition of the book. The major changes include: 1. Explanation of the changes that were made in the ANSYS's newest release (Chapters 3 and 8) 2. Explanat…
In the Preface to the previous edition, we posed questions regarding trends in engineering education and practice, and whether the discipline of heat transfer would remain relevant. After weighing various arguments, we concluded that the future of engineering was bright and that heat transfer would remain a vital and enabling discipline across a range of emerg¬ing technologies including but no…
The title of this book was chosen to reflect a blend of science (principles) and engi¬neering (prevention) in the study of metal corrosion. The instructor or the student can pick and choose between principles and prevention to obtain a blend that satis¬fies his or her background and interests. The book is planned so that the instructor can easily design a course at any desired level—or so t…
Compared to most disciplines of civil engineering, geotechnical earthquake engineering is quite young. While the damaging effects of earthquakes have been known for centuries, the strong contribution of soils to the magnitude and pattern of earthquake damage was not widely appreciated until relatively recently. Following damaging earthquakes in 1964 in Niigata, Japan and Alaska, and spurred by …
This book is intended for use in a first course in vibrations or structural dynar for undergraduates in mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering or engineer¬ing mechanics. The text contains the topics normally found in such cou: in accredited engineering departments as set out initially by Den Hartog and refined by Thompson. In addition, topics on design, measurement, and computa¬tion are…
The need for a textbook on earthquake engineering was first pointed out by the eminent consulting engineer, John R. Freeman (1855-1932). Following the destructive Santa Bar¬bara, California earthquake of 1925, he became interested in the subject and searched the Boston Public Library for relevant books. He found that not only was there no textbook on earthquake engineering, but the subject its…
The detailed coverage of Metal Cutting, Cutting Tool Design and Design of Jigs & Fixtures in a single text is unique to the present book and is meant to provide a common platform for studying metal cutting theory and machining practices and their application to the design of cutting tools, jigs and fixtures. The material is presented in a form that is easy to understand and assimilate and at th…
Buku ini sebenarnya merupakan rangkuman dari peraturan pajak penghasilan yang diterbitkan sehingga pembaca dapat melihat peraturan pertama kali terbit sampai dengan akhir tahun 2010. Dengan tidak mengubah susunan peraturan maka penulis berharap pemakainya nanti dapat membaca peraturan tersebut langsung bukan berdasarkan interpretasi penulis, sedangkan interpretasi penulis hanya berbentuk catata…
Pupuk organik adalah pupuk yang terdiri dari bahan organik tumbuhan atau hewan yang telah melalui proses rekayasa, dapat berbentuk padat atau cair, yang digunakan untuk menyediakan hara tanaman, serta dapat memperbaiki sifat fisik kimia dan biologi tanah. Tentu sifat tersebut tidak dimiliki oleh pupuk anorganik. Pupuk organik yang beredar di pasaran cukup beragam. Bagi penggunanya tentu bisa…
Buku ini membahas secara metodologis pelaksanaan penelitian dengan pendekatan cenderung lebih kuantitatif.Berbagai jenis penelitian dengan pendekatan eksperimen maupun ex pos facto. Buku ini diuraikan dengan menginternalisasi berbagai referensi metodologi penelitian. Uraian-uraian yang bersifat aplikatif dicoba diorientasikan dengan masalah-masalah kontekstual. Untuk kepentingan para guru, disa…
Pada dewasa ini, fenomena tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia makin marak dan sekaligus merefleksikan bahwa pencegahan dan pemberantasan tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia tidak memuaskan jika tidak ingin dikatakan gagal. Meningkatnya tindak pidana korupsi ini dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa hal, seperti budaya, dan lemahnya penegakan hukum, bahkan dapat dikatakan cenderung tidak berdaya guna. Se…
Seminar pertama 1-2-3 Magic diadakan di Holiday Inn lokal pada April 1984. Acara ini dihadiri oleh dua puluh delapan orangtua. Saya sendiri, sejak diadakannya seminar itu, telah mempresentasikan 1-2-3 Magic kepada ratusan ribu orangtua, guru, pihak pembantu guru, bagian administrasi sekolah, kakek-nenek, penasehat pelatihan, ahli terapi, profesional kesehatan mental, dan dokter anak. Banyak pre…
