General Purpose
To support instruction, study, and research at B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. levels
in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
Subject Description
The program is designed to support study and research in energy conversion
and utilization, propulsion, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, gas
dynamics, machine design and dynamics, power generation, stress analysis,
structure and stress analysis, aerodynamics, gas dynamics, aeroacoustics, and
flight mechanics.
Overlap with Other Subjects
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering overlaps with engineering
science/mechanics and physics.
Languages Collected and Excluded
English is the primary language. Secondary languages include Western
European, Asian, and Russian which are acquired selectively depending on research
and project needs.
Geographic Parameters
Publications from the United States and Great Britain are primarily
collected. Materials from Western Europe and Japan are added secondarily, and
materials from other areas are considered very selectively.
Chronological Scope
Emphasis is on current research.
Dates of Publication
Current publications are of primary interest.
Retrospective Acquisitions
Retrospective purchases are considered only under special circumstances,
i.e., for new programs where basic materials (monographs, serials, and
periodicals) are needed to update the collection.
Types of Materials Collected and Excluded
Scholarly and research publications, handbooks, association publications,
proceedings, and advanced texts are collected.
Formats of Materials Collected and Excluded
In addition to print formats, all other formats are collected.
Cooperation with Other Libraries
Cooperative agreements are in effect with the Tennessee Valley Authority
and Martin Marietta Energy Systems.
Alternative Access to Resources
Interlibrary loan is a source of materials not in the UT collection.
Position Responsible for Collection
