Engineering Library recommendations
(OP)
Hi,
I'm in the process of updating the departments engineering library and wondering if anyone can recommend any books/handbooks for inclusion. I'm looking for the sort golden nuggets that people 'couldn't live without'; engineering bibles as it were.
The company is a manufacturing plant and the sort of day to day engineering is stress analysis in steel pipes and small steel structures (pressure/bending/torsion etc), fluid flow calcs, torque and rotation, that sort of thing.
If anyone has any recommendations that they think would fit the bill please let me know.
Thanks
Dave

RE: Engineering Library recommendations
Try doing a search on recommended books
or favorite books.
RE: Engineering Library recommendations
Section 1 - Iron and Steel Products
(Volume 01.01 through 01.06)
Section 2 - Nonferrous Metal Products (just in case)
(Volume 02.01 through 02.02)
Section 3 - Metals Test Methods and Analytical Procedures
(Volume 03.01 through 03.04)
Section 6 - Paints, Related Coatings, and Aromatics
(Volume 06.01 through 06.02)
If I were planning on lots of fluids calcs I'd add Analytical Fluid Dynamics.

Try starting here thread404-140578
Searching for "Roark" might find other threads too.

Roark's is another.
There are two or three common pressure vessel handbooks- pick them up.
A good selection of old college textbooks finishes out the list.

JStephen, I like your idea, I think I'll pursue that further.......
Thanks for all your help

The instructions on the copyright page state that the book can be purchased by sending $15.95 to P.O. Box 1073, Scottsdale, AZ 85252. I bought mine about 15 years ago, so I don't know if this is still valid. Does anyone out there have more recent purchasing experience/information for this booklet?

Doesn't explain why the Bruins continually ice a bad team, Florida has one equally useless, although their other is a championship club.
