Machinery's Handbook

Machinery's Handbook, first published in 1914, is a comprehensive reference book that covers a vast array of topics related to mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and design. The book has been widely regarded as an indispensable resource for engineers, machinists, toolmakers, and students in the field of mechanical engineering. The current edition, the 31st edition, has been updated to include the latest information and developments in the field.

One of the book's authors, Erik Oberg, was a prominent mechanical engineer and the editor-in-chief of Industrial Press. Oberg was one of the co-authors of the first edition of Machinery's Handbook and played a key role in its development and subsequent editions. He was also a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and a fellow of the American Society of Tool and Manufacturing Engineers (ASTME).

The 31st edition of Machinery's Handbook is divided into four main sections: math, mechanics and strength of materials, properties, treatment, and testing of materials, and manufacturing processes. Each section covers a broad range of topics, from basic arithmetic and algebra to complex calculations involving differential equations and calculus. The mechanics and strength of materials section cover topics such as stress and strain, beam deflection, and fatigue. The properties, treatment, and testing of materials section cover topics such as metallurgy, heat treatment, and non-destructive testing. The manufacturing processes section covers topics such as casting, forging, and welding.

Overall, Machinery's Handbook is an essential reference book for anyone working in the field of mechanical engineering or manufacturing. Its comprehensive coverage of a wide range of topics and its easy-to-use format make it an indispensable tool for engineers, machinists, and students alike.
