MATLAB Engineer's Toolkit: Volume 1 - Fundamental Engineering Calculations

MATLAB Engineer's Toolkit, Volume 1: Fundamental Engineering Calculations is a practical collection of 64 ready-to-use MATLAB® functions designed for engineering students, instructors, researchers, and practicing engineers. Covering engineering geometry, unit conversions, temperature conversions, and basic thermal calculations, the book transforms commonly used engineering equations into short, clear, and reusable MATLAB functions. Each calculation presents the governing equations, defines the variables and units, provides commented MATLAB code with basic input validation, explains how the function works, and includes a simple numerical example. Topics range from areas, perimeters, volumes, and surface areas to conversions involving length, mass, force, pressure, energy, power, speed, flow rate, and angular quantities, followed by temperature, thermal expansion, thermal strain, restrained thermal stress, and sensible heat calculations. Designed as both a learning resource and an everyday engineering reference, this volume helps readers connect engineering theory directly with practical MATLAB programming while building a personal library of useful computational tools.
