Construction - The fundamental and reference work with an incredible price-performance ratio. This book provides university students, as well as those in higher education and technical schools, with the basics of product design in electronics, electrical engineering, precision engineering, and mechatronics. For engineers, it serves as an excellent practical reference due to its catalog-like and richly illustrated presentation. The book includes: - Design principles including tolerances and fits - Strength of materials, strength proofs, material characteristics - Electrical connections - Machine elements such as springs, shafts, bearings, guides, couplings, and gears. An appendix on technical drawing covers the most important guidelines and rules for creating technical drawings, such as the structure of a drawing set, the representation of bodies, and the execution of individual parts.
