Handbook of Mechanical Engineering
Since 1914 the Dubbel Handbook of Mechanical Engineering has been the stan-
dard reference text used by generations of students and practising engineers in
the German-speaking countries. The book covers all fundamental Mechanical
Engineering subjects.
Contributions are written by leading experts in their fields. This handbook is
not primarily intended for specialists in particular areas, but for students and
practitioners, who, within the framework of their responsibilities, also need to
know about the basics outside their own special area.
The handbook deliberately focuses on fundamentals and on the solutions of
problems, but it also covers a wide range of applications. Charts and tables with
general material values and specific parameters are included. As a German hand-
book, it relies more on the German Industrial Standards (DIN) and focuses on
the components of German manufacturers. This should not be a problem in this
English-international edition owing to the exemplary character of these appli-
cations and examples; and with the increasing referencing of EN- and ISO/IEC-
standards, the national DIN standard becomes less significant.
In parallel with the complete German edition, the selected subjects in this
edition combine the fundamentals of theoretical sciences, materials and engineer-
ing design with important mechanical engineering applications.
I would like to thank all those involved in the production of this handbook
for their enthusiastic co-operation, since this has made an important standard
mechanical engineering text available to an international readership.
