Preface

Mechanical engineering is a broad and complex fieldwithin the world of engineering and has close relationsto many other fields. It is an important economic fac-tor for all industrialized countries and the global marketallows for wide international competition for productsand processes in this field. To stay up to date withscientific findings and to apply existing knowledge inmechanical engineering it is important to renew andcontinuously update existing information.

The editors of this Springer Handbook on Mechan-ical Engineering have worked successfully with 92authors worldwide to include chapters about all relevantmechanical engineering topics. However, this Hand-book cannot claim to cover every aspect or detail ofthe mechanical engineering areas or fields included,and where mechanical engineers are currently presentand contributing their expertise and knowledge towardsthe challenges of a better world. However, this Hand-book will be a valuable guide for all who design,develop, manufacture, operate, and use mechanical arte-facts.

We also hope to spark interest in the field of me-chanical engineering from others. In this Handbook,high-school students can get a first glance at the optionsin this field and possible career moves.

We, the editors, would like to express our gratitudeand thanks to all of the authors of this Handbook, who

have devoted a considerable amount of time towardsthis project. We would like to thank them for their pa-tience and cooperation, and we hope for a long-lastingpartnership in this ambitious project. We would alsomost sincerely like to thank our managers and friends atSpringer and le-tex. The executives at Springer–Verlagwere always most cooperative and supportive of thisHandbook. Without Dr. Skolaut’s continuous help andencouragement and Ms. Moebes’ and Mr. Wieczorek’salmost daily requests for corrections, improvements,and progress reports it would have taken another fewyears – if ever – to publish this Handbook. Stürtz hasdone a fantastic job in printing and binding. Finally wewould like to thank all the people we work with in ourdepartments and universities, who tolerated the time andeffort spent on this book.

Finally, we know that there is always room forimprovement – with this Handbook as with most en-gineering products and approaches. We, as well as theauthors welcome your fair hints, comments, and crit-icism. Through this Handbook and with the authors’efforts, we would also like to draw your attention towhat has been accomplished for the benefit of the en-gineering world and society.
