Rig Design for Mechanical Engineering

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 (heat treatment and mechanical properties), process and control tooling, manufacturing, measuring instruments, equipment, and the use of sophisticated and skillful computer software programs. Therefore, this book is mainly devoted to help graduate students who are not familiar with the designing and constructing test rig to conduct their experimental projects, especially for the 'Heat Treatments and Mechanical Properties' projects. It is also useful for postgraduate students during their higher studies to develop their ability to design and build the test rig for the MSc and PhD work. Moreover, it is beneficial for working engineers in the Research and Development Centers to enhance their scientific capability and gives them the proper procedure to design and construct the relevant test rigs.
