Programming and Engineering Computing with MATLAB 2021 This book is designed for undergraduate students completely new to programming with MATLAB. Case studies and examples are used extensively throughout this book and are at the core of what makes this book so unique. The author believes that the best way to learn MATLAB is to study programs written by experienced programmers and that the quality of these example programs determines the quality of the book. The examples in this book are carefully designed to teach you MATLAB programming as well as to inspire within you your own problem solving potential. Most of the examples used in this book are designed to solve a whole class of problems rather than a single specific problem. A learn by doing teaching approach is used all through the book. You are guided to tackle a problem using MATLAB commands first and then the commands are explained line by line. This process of learning through hands on experience is one of the most efficient and pain-free ways of learning MATLAB. This approach together with the extensive use of ordered textboxes figures and tables greatly reduces the size of the book while still providing you with a book that’s comprehensive and easy to follow. The first chapter of this book introduces the MATLAB programming environment and familiarizes you with MATLAB’s core functionality. Chapters two through nine discuss basic MATLAB functionalities in a progressive and comprehensive way. The chapters start out simple and build in complexity as you advance through the book. Chapters ten through thirteen cover advanced topics that are particularly useful in college programs. Each chapter consists of sections each covering a topic and providing one or more examples. Related MATLAB functions are organized at the end of a section. Additional exercise problems are provided at the end of chapters two through nine. Examples in each section are presented in a consistent way. An example is usually described first followed by a MATLAB script. Any resulting text and graphics output (and in some cases inputs) that are produced from running a script are presented and discussed. Finally the remainder of each section is devoted to explaining the purpose of the lines of the script. Who this book is for This book is developed mainly for undergraduate engineering students. It may be used in courses such as Computers in Engineering or others that use MATLAB as a software platform. It can also be used as a self-study book for learning MATLAB. College level engineering examples are used in this book.

Some problems are purposely left open ended to simulate real life design situations; therefore more than one solution is possible. After completing all the tutorials in this book you will be able to accurately design moderately difficult parts and assemblies and have a firm foundation in SOLIDWORKS. Why this book? Instructors and learners will appreciate the thoughtful and well-organized layout of A Hands-On Introduction to SOLIDWORKS 2023. Every chapter begins with the prerequisites needed to complete the tutorials found in the chapter and a list of what you will learn. You do not necessarily need to complete the tutorials within the book in order but make sure that you have the pre-requisite knowledge before you begin. Practice modeling problems and/or quiz problems at the end of each chapter offer an extra challenge and let you practice your newfound skills. Working with realistic part models and assemblies means that questions and problems might arise as they would when you are working on your real-life projects. The author anticipates these questions and how to address them. For example if you are in the wrong standard or not on the correct layer or an unexpected window appears on the screen tips and notes quickly remedy the issue. Work alongside the author using the instructional videos included for every tutorial and end-of chapter problems in the book. Information on new commands or steps appear at the beginning of each chapter. They include definitions of new features and concepts and images of how they look on the screen. Everything is clearly labeled for easy identification. Throughout the book readers are referred to the appropriate section of the chapter for more information on the command when needed. A command index at the back of the book lists where each command can be found for easy reference at any time.

Motion Simulation and Mechanism Design with SOLIDWORKS Motion 2023 Motion Simulation and Mechanism Design with SOLIDWORKS Motion 2023 is written to help you become familiar with SOLIDWORKS Motion an add-on module of the SOLIDWORKS software family. This book covers the basic concepts and frequently used commands required to advance readers from a novice to intermediate level in using SOLIDWORKS Motion. SOLIDWORKS Motion allows you to use solid models created in SOLIDWORKS to simulate and visualize mechanism motion and performance. Using SOLIDWORKS Motion early in the product development stage could prevent costly redesign due to design defects found in the physical testing phase. Therefore using SOLIDWORKS Motion contributes to a more cost effective reliable and efficient product design process. Basic concepts discussed in this book include model generation such as creating assembly mates for proper motion; carrying out simulation and animation; and visualizing simulation results such as graphs and spreadsheet data. These concepts are introduced using simple yet realistic examples. Verifying the results obtained from the computer simulation is extremely important. One of the unique features of this book is the incorporation of theoretical discussions for kinematic and dynamic analyses in conjunction with the simulation results obtained using SOLIDWORKS Motion. Verifying the simulation results will increase your confidence in using the software and prevent you from being fooled by erroneous simulations. This book covers the following functionality of SOLIDWORKS Motion 2023 Model generation Creating assembly mates Performing simulations Creating animations Visualizing simulation results GBP 59.99 1
