Fundamentals of Machine Component Design

This indispensable reference goes beyond explaining the basics of mechanics, strength of materials, and materials properties by showing readers how to apply these fundamentals to specific machine components. They'll learn how to solve mechanical component design problems while reviewing numerous examples and working on end-of-chapter problems. With the help of graphical procedures, they'll also gain the skills needed to visualize the solution format, develop added insight about the significance of the results, and determine how the design can be improved.

A proven approach for analyzing and solving mechanical component problems

To solve mechanical component problems, you need a solid understanding of the fundamentals of component design as well as good engineering judgment. Juvinall and Marshek s Fundamentals of Machine Component Design, Fourth Edition will help you develop both, so you can apply your knowledge, skills, and imagination to professional engineering problems.

Now revised and updated, this Fourth Edition continues to focus on the fundamentals of component design free body diagrams, force flow concepts, failure theories, and fatigue design, with applications to fasteners, springs, bearings, gears, shafts, clutches, and brakes. A proven problem-solving methodology guides you through the process of accurately formulating problems and clearly presenting solutions. Graphical procedures help you visualize the solution format, develop added insight about the significance of the results, and determine how the design can be improved.

Filled with solved examples, problems, and handy tables, this text will be a valuable reference throughout your academic and professional careers.
