Mechanical Engineering Principles

Mechanical Engineering Principles 3rd Edition by John Bird, ‎Carl Ross. This book presents a solid foundation for the reader in mechanical engineering principles, on which s/he can safely build tall buildings and long bridges that may last for a thousand years or more. It is the authors’ experience that it is most unwise to attempt to build such structures on shaky foundations; they may come tumbling down – with disastrous consequences.
