Machine Elements in Mechanical Design

Front Cover
Prentice Hall, 1999 - Technology & Engineering - 794 pages
Using an exceptionally readable, applied approach to the principles and practice of mechanical design, this text presents the concepts, procedures, data, and decision-analysis techniques students need to design safe, efficient, and workable machine elements - and to effectively integrate them into total systems. Hands-on in nature, it features an abundance of thoroughly worked and explained examples and topic-specific and comprehensive integrative reality-based problems and projects. The use of spreadsheets and the latest computational tools and extensive appendices provide realistic up-to-date data and techniques for use in problem solutions and design projects.* NEW-Groups chapters into three major parts to better relate chapters to one another: * Principles of Design and Stress Analysis - introduces the concepts of design philosophy and builds on earlier-learned principles of strength of materials, materials science, and manufacturing processes. * Design of a Mechanical Drive - shows how one example of a complete mechanical design (a power transmission) can be completed. Guides students through a series of related designs of the various machine elements with appropriate iteratio
