This Second Edition, revised and updated, retains the features of the first edition and incorporates several improvements that stress and promote precise thought in the solution of mechanical component design problems. The major change is the addition of the sample problem format, which includes a restatement, solution and comments for the problem with respect to: given, find, schematic, decisions, assumptions, analysis and comments. A decisions format has also been added which allows students to clearly see the differences between design and analysis. Further changes include: a more in-depth and unified treatment of the basics of work, energy and power and their relationship to the thermodynamic approach; a more direct presentation of the systems of units and dimensions; and additional homework problems without repetition of problems.

From the Back Cover

FIND EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO MACHINE COMPONENT PROBLEMS!

While focusing on the fundamentals of component design, this practical text helps readers learn how to solve engineering problems that involve mechanical components. A proven problem-solving methodology guides readers through the process of formulating machine component problems accurately and presenting solutions clearly.

In addition, numerous solved examples and end-of-chapter problems help readers master the material. Graphical procedures help readers visualize the solution format, develop added insight about the significance of the results, and determine how the design can be improved.

NEW FEATURES OF THE THIRD EDITION

Open-ended design problems have been added to most chapters. These problems are based on making decisions that involve materials, geometry, an d operating conditions.
Material selection charts are now included as an aid in choosing appropriate materials for specific applications.
Finite element analysis is covered in several section to provide an introduction to this useful tool.
Web site addresses are added throughout the text, providing access to additional information on topics ranging from industrial standards to properties of materials.
Innovative, web-based problems are integrated throughout the text, requiring use of the internet to solve design problems.
The text has been completely updated with new illustrations and photographs.
