Machine Elements in Mechanical Design (3rd Edition)

Provides the concepts, procedures, data, & decision analysis techniques necessary to design machine elements commonly found in mechanical devices & systems. DLC: Machine design.

The book's 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. Using an exceptionally readable, applied approach to the principles and practice of mechanical design, this book presents the concepts, procedures, data, and decision-analysis techniques readers/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. An essential reference for anyone interested in mechanical design.
