E-Books →Python for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

This book is about the Python programming language. Specifically, it is about Python in the context of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Did you know that Python can be used to model a satellite orbiting the Earth? This book assumes a college junior level of mechanical/aerospace engineering understanding. It will use examples like
Thrust available and thrust required for an aircraft
Dynamic pressure and how it changes with altitude and velocity
Descriptionting different airfoils
Orbital mechanics and orbital parameters
Mechanical properties of different aluminum alloys
to show the reader how Python is better than MATLAB for anything that does not require Simulink. Don't be scared if you don't understand all of those topics; they are just being used to provide concrete examples for how Python can be used for engineering.
In total, there are 10 chapters:
Intro chapter on how to download Python via Anaconda distribution and getting started with Python syntax
A very small problem and solution to demonstrate a basic Python program
Graphing thrust required and thrust available for an Airbus A321 at three different altitudes with MatDescriptionlib
Graphing dynamic pressure as a function of time for a rocket launch with MatDescriptionlib
Getting and Descriptionting airfoil coordinates with Requests and MatDescriptionlib
Modeling a satellite's orbit around Earth with PyAstronomy and MatDescriptionlib
Intrduction to web scraping (Requests and BeautifulSoup4) and exporting data to Excel (Openpyxl)
Modeling camera shutter effect on an aircraft's propeller with Tkinter and Numpy
Creating a GUI to convert units with Tkinter and Pint
Making pdf reports of Python code with Pweave
