How to Restore Classic Farmall Tractors.......2005-11-09

This is a very informative book with lots of good color photos and descriptive, but not model specific info on evaluating,tear down,inspecting and repairing componants. Each chapter is devoted to a seperate componant or system. The paint chapter focuses on selecting different types of paint,primers,sealers. There are suggestions on selecting and applying decals. I found a nice appendix with contact info for parts suppliers and clubs. I didn't see much about tractors made after the late 50's. This book would be a great companion to a detailed shop manual for someone who has little or no experience working on tractors. There is also a chapter that gives ideas on tools and tool selection.

Book Description

The historical achievements in organic natural product synthesis can be recognized most clearly in the research accomplishments of Albert Eschenmoser. For example, his work on the chemical synthesis of vitamin B12 defined the frontier in organic natural product synthesis and profoundly influenced the science of organic chemistry. In addition to revealing the beautiful reaction pathways leading to compounds of great biochemical significance, Albert Eschenmoser has contributed innovative methods of outstanding utility for organic synthesis. Few individuals have so fundamentally influenced the science of organic chemistry as Albert Eschenmoser has.
Over the years, a sizable fraction of Albert Eschenmoser's work has been published in Helvetica Chimica Acta, hence the decision of the Editor to produce a special issue of the journal on the occasion of Albert Eschenmoser's 75th birthday, celebrated on August 5, 2000. The highly impressive set of 67 original research papers submitted in response to the Editor's invitation could not, for obvious technical reasons, be accommodated in a single issue and were thus divided over the August and September issues. The international reaction to this tribute has been so overwhelmingly enthusiastic that the two issues have been combined in this single volume for separate publication.

both statics and dynamics, with relevant
mathematical physics and offers a viable solution
scheme.
* Will help the reader better integrate and
understand the physical principles of classical
mechanics, the applied mathematics of solid
mechanics, and computer methods.
* The Matlab programs will allow professional
engineers to develop a wider range of complex
engineering analytical problems, using closed-
solution methods to test against numerical and
other open-ended methods.
* Allows for solution of higher order problems at
earlier engineering level than traditional textbook
approaches.

Good Text, Major Problems with Matlab Tools.......2007-05-04

Taken by itself, this is a good solid text on its subject matter, both during the learning process and as a later reference for a working engineer (which I am - with 35 years of experience). However, the Matlab "toolbox" is significantly flawed. First, the tools are presented as p-code, not m-scripts, and therefore serve no teaching function whatsoever, and cannot be customized by the user. There is no logical reason for this from a protection standpoint since there is no copy-protection on the disk and thus, at least physically, the files can be just as freely distributed as if they were m-scripts. Even toolboxes purchased from MathWorks generally contain most of their tools as user readable m-scripts. Because they're not user readable, and therefore not verifiable, the Matlab tools on the CD cannot be used in any quality sensitive "real-world" engineering computation. Another toolbox problem is that it is divided into chapter-related folders and tool names are repeated in different folders - requiring in many cases completely incompatible syntax for the different versions - all with the same name. If the wrong syntax is used, the routines fail cryptically, not gracefully. Finally, no help messages are built into the tools (eg. the standard Matlab syntax "help setbeam" does NOT produce any info about the setbeam routine - of which there are at least four incompatible versions). This is definitely not standard practice for Matlab toolboxes and is definitely not user friendly. The author's website does not appear - at this writing anyway - to have any updates or corrections for the toolbox routines. So if you purchase this book, do so for the book itself, not the toolboxes which seem so promising in concept.

Outstanding handbook on engineering principles.......2006-01-11

This book is an extremely useful tool and really is an excellent handbook on providing information on the fundamentals of strength of materials, structural mechanics, and structural dynamics. Furthermore, the book also provides information on two-dimensional continua that is not commonly found in most engineering handbooks today, as far as I am aware. The accompanying matlab codes allow the user to quickly arrive at the closed form solution to a variety of problems such as simple one-degree of freedom systems all the way up to more complecated two-dimensional continua such as the dynamic characteristics of membranes and plates. In addition, the matlab code lends itself to being advantages to the designer during the research and development phase on a project when a quick solution is required of a variety of conceptual structural configurations. Of particular interest is the associated website maintained by the author that provides supplemental information on the use of the matlab code in engineering analysis demos.

I would recommend this book to those in academia and industry looking to obtain a handbook on the basics of engineering principles that are commonly used in everyday engineering problems.

Dr. Yang's Book on Stress, Strain and Structural Dynamics.......2005-04-25

Dr. Yang's newly released book "Stress, Strain and Structural Dynamics" contains a substantial quantity (with 960 pages) of diverse, high-quality material on strength of materials, structural mechanics, dynamics and vibrations, structural dynamics, and two-dimensional elastic continua. The integration of the development of principles, formulas and solutions with Matlab, the high-performance technical computing language, reflects the current state of engineering education, research and development. The accompanying CD-ROM contains nearly 300 self-written functions by the author, which allows the users to not only obtain the solutions but also visualize the responses instantly. Structures covered in the interactive handbook range from simple single degree of freedom system to sophisticated two-dimensional elastic continua. As a result, it is an excellent resource for undergraduate and graduate engineering students, practical engineers and researchers. It deserves a place in all academic and specialist libraries as well as engineering professionals' bookshelves.

In addition, what's nice about this book, as I recently found out, is that the author maintains a website for the book:

http://ame-www.usc.edu/books/yang-sssd/

From this website, one can get a lot of information on what this book is about, how to use the Matlab functions of the book in engineering analysis via carefully selected demo examples, technical supports, updates, and beyond. This, from a reader's viewpoint, really helps amplifying the utilities of the book.

The Beauty of the Art "Static & Dynamic Structural Handbook".......2005-04-24

I found this user-friendly handbook provides me a very good visual enhancement by its animated simulation with its solution can be extended to solving real practical engineering and research problems.

This handbook can solve any static problems (freshman level problems) up to complex structural dynamics problems (Senior and Graduate level problems) within few seconds by typing in the material properties with its addition feature of some visualization of control systems analysis.

I highly recommended this handbook to all engineering undergrad students (this handbook also very useful to Physics major students and two year college students especially studying in Mechanics problems), researchers and design engineers who wants to get a quick analysis and simulations of their design products that involved statics and dynamic problems.

For further simulation toolboxes updates and information about this handbook, you can access as follow:

Excellent Book on Structural Dynamics.......2005-04-22

As a researcher and instructor of structural dynamics and vibration courses, I found this book is an excellent reference for professional engineers as well as textbook for engineering students.
This book integrates the central theories of fundamental mechanics (stresses/strains, dynamics, vibration, and vibration control) and practical problem solving techniques including computer applications with Matlab. Explanations and discussions of subjects are concise, yet very clear and accurate. Examples are well-selected to demonstrate underlined principles and problem solving techniques. In addition, numerous illustrations are expertly used to clarify ideas, saving the reader from reading lines and lines of text. This book is also pedagogically well organized with a consistent approach to conclusions from objectives in each chapter.

I strongly recommend this book as a must reference for those who want to become an expert in the areas of structural dynamics and vibration.
