Author Description

Rig Design for Mechanical Engineering is an important and necessary issue in various engineering fields. All engineers and professionals need the basic knowledge about this subject to improve their skills and practice on how to establish their own test rigs in terms of design and material requirement (Stress Analysis), process and control tooling, manufacturing, measuring instruments, equipment, and the use of sophisticated and skillful computer software programs. The reader is assumed to be familiar with the preliminary courses of strength of materials and stress analysis. In order to cover most types of experimental test rigs used in for the stress analysis research works, this book is divided into four chapters: Chapter one is about ‘Static and Dynamic Analysis’ topic presented in terms of three cases, chapter two is about ‘Residual Stress & Shoot Penning Analysis’ topic introduced in terms of three research studies, chapter three is about ‘Stress Analysis of Composite Materials’ topic demonstrated in terms of two research investigations and chapter four is about 'Stress Analysis of Metal Forming' topic demonstrated in terms of two research works.
