Mechanical Engineering Library
Mathcad Engineering Libraries are delivered in E-books, which give you interactive, live access to everything you’d find in hard copy reference books. These E-books can be viewed in Mathcad and have full access to all of Mathcad’s calculation and graphing features. You can modify the inputs and equations to build your own models, explore the content by working directly in the book, or drag content into your own Mathcad worksheets.

Roark’s Formulas for Stress and Strain, 6th Edition – Receive the complete edition, by Warren C. Young with more than 1,000 separate design cases covering straight beams and bars, curved beams, plates and shells. Also included are all 37 tables of formulas in Roark’s and more than 75 detailed example problems worked out in Mathcad.

Sample Topics – Column buckling and elastic stability; stress, force and deflection calculations for beams; combined stress formulas; curved beam cross-section properties; moments of inertia; torsional loading; beam analysis for a varying section; stresses and deflection of flat plates; discontinuity analysis results at the junction of shells and plates; natural frequencies of plates; bending and membrane stresses of thin-walled pressure vessels; radial displacements; buckling of shells.

Finite Element Beginnings – An introduction to the principles of finite element method. This provides a deeper theoretical understanding of the Finite Element methodology; it is an ideal foundation for establishing finite associated applications. Engaging and informative, this book offers many examples to help develop your foundation in understanding finite element methods.

Sample Topics–Historical perspective of the finite element method; basic concepts of linear elasticity; principles of minimum potential energy and direct method; using interpolation concepts in one and two dimensions; mapped elements.


Machine Design and Analysis (from Hicks’s Standard Handbook of Engineering Calculations) – This interactive reference tool is based on more than 125 machine design, analysis and metalworking calculation procedures from the classic McGraw-Hill reference work. Each section has a working Mathcad calculation procedure mirroring one in the original book, supported with explanatory text, tables of data, scanned-in figures, Mathcad plots and Mathcad built-in units. The variety of examples provides quick-references and templates for your machine design calculations.

Sample Topics – Shaft, torque, horsepower and driver efficiency; shaft reactions and bending moments; solid shafts in bending and torsion; speeds of gears and gear trains; force ratio of geared drives; wear life of roller surfaces; time and power to drill, bore, countersink and ream; shock-mount deflection and spring rate; economical cutting speeds and production rates.
