About this product
Product Information
An authoritative guide to generating readable, compact, and verifiably correct Matlab programs. This highly respected guide helps readers develop a strong working knowledge of MATLAB that can be used to solve a wide range of engineering problems. Since solving these problems usually involves writing relatively short, one-time-use programs, the authors demonstrate how to effectively develop programs that are compact yet readable, easy to debug, and quick to execute. Emphasis is on using MATLAB to obtain solutions to several classes of engineering problems, so technical material is presented in summary form only. This guide can be used in the following ways: - As a reference book for obtaining numerical solutions to a wide range of engineering problems. - As a source of applications of a wide variety of MATLAB solution techniques. - To learn MATLAB. - As a companion book to undergraduate and graduate level textbooks in engineering. KEY TOPICS: Introduction . The MATLAB Environment. Ways to Use MATLAB. Online Help. Some Suggestions on How to Use MATLAB. Organization of the Book and its Goals. Matrices and MATLAB . Matrices and Vectors. Creation of Vectors. Creation of Matrices. Dot Operations. Mathematical Operation with Matrices. Data Input/Output. Strings and Annotated Output. Input/Output Data Files. Cell Arrays. Input Microsoft Excel Files. Program Flow Control . Introduction-Logical Operator. Control of Program Flow. Functions . Creating Functions. User Defined Functions, Function Handles, and feval. MATLAB Functions That Operate on Arrays of Data. MATLAB Functions That Require User-Created Functions. The Symbolic Toolbox and the Creation of Functions. 2D Graphics . Basic 2D Plotting Commands. Graph Annotation and Visual Enhancement. 3D Graphics . Lines in 3D. Surfaces. Design of Machine Elements . Vectors, Forces, and the Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies. Stresses and Deflections in Beams, Columns, and Shafts. Stresses in Spur Gears. Kinematics of a Four-Bar Linkage. Cam Profiles and Synthesis. Hydrodynamic Bearings. PDE Toolbox and the Stress Concentration Factor for Notches in a Thin Plate. Dynamics and Vibrations. Orbital Motions. Single-Degree-of-Freedom Systems. Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Systems. Vibrations of Thin Beams. Control Systems . Introduction to Control System Design. Representations of Systems in MATLAB. Response of Systems. Design Tools. Design Examples. Fluid Mechanics . Hydrostatics. Internal Viscous Flow. External Flow. Joukowski Airfoils. Open Channel Flow. Heat Transfer . Heat Conduction.

"The best features of this text are certainly the examples. The combination of the worked examples from the first seven chapters with the detailed material from the applications chapters makes for an applied MATLAB text that is truly unmatched in scope or detail. Together with the easily navigated List of Examples, I challenge a mechanical engineer working in any field to read the text without finding an application that becomes part of their default toolbox, let alone one that simply interests them." -- Adam Ufford, Texas Tech "I think that this book provides one of the most comprehensive guides to MATLAB for engineering students. One of the major strengths of the book is the wealth of worked-out examples and exercises at the end of every single chapter." -- Luca Lucchese, Oregon State University "I think that the book is well written and is accessible to both beginners and experienced users alike. The large number of worked-out examples and the clarity of their presentation are certainly among the best features of the book." -- Luca Lucchese, Oregon State University "The exercises are very good and very relevant. They complement the examples well, making the combination very nice, and a step above other texts in this area." -- David Chopp, Northwestern University "The authors do a great job in presenting the material in a readable and understandable fashion. They have good examples and good problems. They also do a great job of logically introducing MATLAB functionality and sequentially building on previous concepts. Very good material!" -- William Arrasmith, Florida Institute of Technology "The authors do a great job of integrating nuances of Matlab into their examples. It is also nice to have so many examples supported with the basic theory. It is also good that the authors are attempting a multi-disciplinary (Aeronautical, Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil Engineering) approach." -- William Arrasmith, Florida Institute of Technology "In this book, you can find numerous programs and examples in a wide range of engineering such as Machine Design, Vibrations, Control Systems, Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Statistics and Optimization. Those examples are very useful and easy to follow. Good examples in all kinds of engineering fields are one of the reasons that I am in favor of the books among all kinds of MATLAB textbooks." -- Jenny Zhou, Lamar University "I think this is a very good text book and reference for a mechanical engineering student. It is well written, easy to comprehend. The examples in the book are extremely useful to solve a wide range of engineering problems." -- Jenny Zhou, Lamar University "To program MATLAB well, one must understand vectorization and user-defined functions. This book stands out in giving well-written, understandable examples." -- Brad Burchett, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology "The quality of the worked examples is truly unique to this textbook. The examples in Chapters 1-7 are stimulating in their content, but simple enough so that the complexity of the application does not intimidate or take away from the educational content. This is often a hard balance to find, but this text succeeds." -- Adam Ufford, Texas Tech "The quality of the problems surpasses that of any other text. The problems reinforce and test all of the necessary content, but provide a stimulating opportunity to "go beyond" the typical canned responses and apply skills to "real-world" problems." -- Adam Ufford, Texas Tech, "The best features of this text are certainly the examples.
