On-Line Services
-
University of Utah PartNet Online Catalog System
- This server offers information about the
a prototype service for finding parts via the WWW.
- Shock & Vibration Information
Analysis Center (SAVIAC)
- This server is a central information resource for Government
activities, contractors, and academics concerned with structural
dynamic analysis, design and testing, and related physical
environmental effects.
-
On-line Catalog at the Technical University of
Darmstadt
- This server (Elektronisches Katalogsystem
BLOCAN), describes the
Profile-Assembly system of supplier RK ROSE+KRIEGER. These pages are
completely auf Deutsch but are an interesting real example, in
use since 1993. See also a
general description of this work and the
Department of Machine Elements and Engineering Design of the
Mechanical Engineering description (in English) of the
Technical University of
Darmstadt.
-
Engineering Workstations server
-
Engineering Workstations is a server for document authoring
at the
College of Engineering
University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign. It points to
a wide variety of campus and engineering related information.
-
NASA Technical Report Server (NTRS)
- This server is an experimental service that
allows simultaneous searching of various NASA abstract
and technical report services.
-
Catalog of the Engineering Case Library
- This server provides accounts of real engineering work written
for use in engineering education, and is provided by the
Center for Case Studies in Engineering at the Rose-Hulman Institute of
Technology. There are cases from almost all disciplines of
engineering.
The full text version of the catalog
is also available via anonymous ftp from:
alfred.carleton.ca in directory /pub/civeng/ECL/
as ASCII text or as a WordPerfect file.
-
Brigham Young University ADCATS
- The ADCATS web site provides various services in dimensioning and
tolerance research. This web contains various research articles
accessable for user research. Articles from users can also be added
to the web archive for research use. This web contains (or will
contain) a description and demo (tour) of the ADCATS software being
developed at BYU.
-
IndustryNET
- IndustryNET carries focused mechanical engineering
industry news and many websites for companies in this line of
business.
-
DuPont Company's Performance Lubricants
- The Lubricants Web contains over 400 pages of scientific
and engineering information on Tribology and DuPont's Lubricants.
Performance Lubricants makes advanced lubricants and coatings for
the most demanding applications in the aerospace, automotive and
semiconductor industries, as well as general purpose lubricants
for use on almost anything that moves.
-
NanoNet
- The National Science Foundation has established this network of
nanofabrication facilities for the purpose of providing access to
individuals who would otherwise not be able to experiment with
advanced nanofabrication technology. The "NanoNet" provides a means
for researchers to share information about this National
NanoFabrication User Network.
-
Journal of Mechanical
Design (JMD)
- The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) publishes the
JMD and this server provides information on the scope and purpose of
the journal, the editorial staff, and information for authors. There
is als an index to previous volumes and articles. Forms for submitting
and reviewing technical papers are also provided.
-
The MathWorks
- These vendor pages provide information on products such as
MATLAB, which combines numerical problem solving and graphics.
Student editions are available.
-
DesignNet
- These CDR SHARE pages are a directory of design services.
