The following are the best eight websites that are a great resource for engineers, students, professionals,
managers and related personnel
Best Mechanical Engineering
Websites
Mechanical engineering is all about the world of mechanics and its applications.
If you are in the mechanical engineering field are looking for best websites
and forums for mechanical engineers where you can find everything from basics
of mechanical engineering to advanced terminologies, processes, methods,
formulas, etc., then check out the websites below.
1. iCrank.com
This is a huge portal of mechanical engineering
design resources. There are three main functions of this portal. The first of
these is a collection of applications that achieve particular tasks, like
‘Design a spring’, or ‘Check wrench clearances’. The second feature is a long
list of links to other resources where users can check out material data, find
suppliers, gain experience in technical know-how, find seminars/conferences,
etcetera. The third feature of this portal is the blog section where one can
comment about the iCrank web portal, ask questions and do so much more.
2. ASME.ORG
ASME, the acronym for American Society of
Mechanical Engineers is a
non-profit organization that provides a platform for mechanical engineers and
students to acquire and disseminate knowledge. It promotes skill development
among engineers and also provides research opportunities via conferences,
seminars, and journal publications. You can gain a whole lot of technical
knowledge and/or attend professional development programs. To nobody’s surprise
the membership base of this organization is around 127,000
professionals/engineers.
3. MatWeb
This is a database that can be searched and has
more than 78,000 data sheets for any material that’s on the planet, really. The
searchable items range from polymers such as nylon, polycarbonate, to metals
like cobalt, lead, etc. Other services of MatWeb include advertisement for your
companies, creation and maintenance of company data sheets, web hosting and web
design, as well as licensing the searchable database and using it on your own
website.
Mechanical Engineering TV is a huge resource of videos for students as
well as mechanical engineering professionals. You can sign up there, and upload
as many relevant videos as you like. You can have access to a number of videos
ranging from tutorials, to future innovations, and descriptions of how things
work. Some examples of videos you can watch include "Jet Engine
Animation" and "Titanium Manufacturing Process."
eFunda, or engineering Fundamentals is a website
that offers a plethora of resources for young engineers. From mathematical formulas,
data sheets, to constant values and conditions, students can make a lot of use
of eFunda to solve their assignments and figure out solutions to engineering
problems. One of the good things about eFunda is that it offers very precise
and accurate explanations to technical topics/problems, so that the problem at
hand is meant to be solved as quickly as possible. eFunda also has a forum
where many volunteer engineers are sitting to answer your questions.
This website is a great resource for mechanical
engineering students and researchers. Also, anyone looking for explanation on mechanical
terminologies with a diagram will find this website very helpful. The website
also has information on mechanical processes, materials used in mechanical
manufacturing. You will also find on the site reference tables, equations, unit
conversion formulas with explanation and an option to search for specific
information on the site.
Whether you want to ask someone a question about
mechanical engineering, want to learn something about a mechanical process or looking
for description of a mechanical terminology, Physics Forum is the right place.
A large number of engineers, students and other professionals contribute on
this forum and their answers are always relevant and detailed. Whether you want
to ask a question on the forum on answer someone else’s question, either way
this is a place for great learning.
This is a huge website for mechanical engineers
looking for information on engineering basics, engineering materials,
application, and design. The website has many calculators for performing
engineering calculations. There is also a section on engineering news,
software, engineering links and a CAD forum. If you are looking for engineering
videos, this website has those too. There are over 150 videos on the website to
watch. Some of the videos I’ve recently watched on this website include “How to
build a gear pump," “Rotary piston pump," “Gear measuring with
CMM," and “Dynamics of machines."
This was my list of best websites for mechanical engineers. If you know
another good website that you frequent and search a lot, please share it with
us in the comments box below.
