Mechanical Handling of Materials 01 Edition  (English, Paperback, Ray)

Engineers involved in any industries, be it traditional or sophisticated, be it engineering or processing or agro-based, be it production system or service sector, will have to bother about the problems of material handling. Various mechanical devices are available now-a-days, and the engineers will have to choose the appropriate one best suited for their requirement.

This book was written with the prime intention of providing those whose interest in the subject is to convert promises of a few popular mechanical handling devices into design, fabrication or specification and selection reality with information in sufficient depth so as to gain an appreciation of the key issues involved. The book has three main themes: hoisting, conveying, and elements of robotics. There are two other minor chapters, introductory and linear programming application. Almost each chapter is provided with solved examples. The book will be useful to the students, teachers and practicing engineers.
