Geometric Modeling, Third Edition

Geometric Modeling, Third Edition
Michael E. Mortenson
452 pages, Illustrated, 7 x 10
Published: 2006

OVERVIEW
Completely updated to include the most recent developments in the field, the third edition like the two previous editions,
emphasizes clarity and thoroughness in the mathematical development of its subjects. It is written in a style that is free of
jargon of special applications, while integrating the three important functions of geometric modeling: to represent elementary
forms (curves, surfaces, and solids), to shape and assemble these into complex forms, and to determine geometric properties
and relationships. With hundreds of illustrations, this unique book appeals to the readers visual and intuitive skills in a way
that makes it easier to understand its more abstract concepts. Upper-division and graduate students, teachers, and
professionals studying, teaching or practicing geometric modeling, 3D modeling, computational geometry, computer graphics
applications, animation, CAD/CAM, and related subjects will find this to be a very valuable reference.

FEATURES
* Describes and compares all the important mathematical methods for modeling curves, surfaces, and solids.
* Prepares the reader for more advanced topics, such as 3D modeling, CAD/CAM, animation, and scientific
visualization.
* Incorporates references throughout the text to direct the reader to more specialized treatments of the subjects.
* Carefully designed illustrations and exercises support each mathematical concept presented.
* Offers hundreds of exercises to test the readers comprehension.

Solving Engineering Problems in Dynamics

Solving Engineering Problems in Dynamics
Michael Spektor
171 Pages, Softcover
Published: April, 2014

Solving Engineering Problems in Dynamics helps practicing engineers successfully analyze real mechanical systems by presenting comprehensive methods for analyzing the motion of engineering systems and their components.
This analysis covers three basic phases:
1) composing the differential equation of motion;
2) solving the differential equation of motion; and
3) analyzing the solution.

Although a formal engineering education provides the fundamental skills for completing these phases, many engineers nonetheless would benefit by gaining further insight in using these fundamentals to solve real-life engineering problems.
This book thus describes in step-by-step order the methods related to each of these phases.

A basic education in engineering is sufficient to master the contents of this guide and effectively apply its step-by-step methods for solving engineering problems.
Numerous solutions of examples of linear, non-linear, and two-degree-of-freedom systems are found throughout.
Explains the structures of differential equations of motion of the two-degree-of-freedom systems and demonstrates the applicability of the Laplace Transform methodology for solving these equations.
Many types of engineers can benefit from this book (as well as students in mechanical, manufacturing, and industrial engineering).
