Mechanical


Mechanical, machines, gears, mechanical lubrication

Mechanical Engineering is not surprisingly one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines.

Common usage meaning of mechanical is that of a device having parts that perform or assist in performing any type of work.
Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering that encapsulates the generation and application of mechanical power, and also heat in the design, production, and use of machines and tools.

A simple machine is a device that transforms the direction or magnitude of a force, without consuming any energy.

A mechanism is said to be pertaining to a machine, or to machinery or tools, if made or formed by a machine or with machine tools, Such as in mechanical precision engineering, firms who specialise in making mechanical products.

Mechanics is the branch of physics that predicts how physical bodies and mechanisms will behave when they're subjected to a forces. Also the subsequent effect(s) of the mechanism or body on their surrounding environment.

The Mechanics discipline is deep rooted in several ancient civilizations. Sometime ago, early on during the modern period, scientists of the day including the likes of Kepler, Galileo and particularly Newton. They laid down the foundations of what is known as today as classical mechanics.

Mechanised engineering, is and will continue to be an integral key role in the development, operation and manufacture of new machines and processes that help to benefit people the world over.

Engineers can't help but to use and apply their creative imaginations and developing professional skills combining both theory and practice to aid creation of new more advanced devices and processes. To be able to do this, they need a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of scientific and engineering processes.

This is crucial to meet the demands of developing solutions to real-life problems, despite conflicting requirements. Real world commercial engineers, although specialising in one discipline, have to develop and combine broad technical and management skills to hone and maintain their competitive advantage for themselves and the companies they work for.Opens link in new window - SAME WINDOW LINKOpens link in same window --> Have a look at the Technical page
