Machine Design: An Integrated Approach (2nd Edition)

A thorough and comprehensive textbook dealing with machine design that emphasizes both failure theory and analysis as well as emphasizing the synthesis and design aspects of machine elements. The text points out the commonality of the analytical approaches needed to design a wide variety of elements and emphasizes the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis of these classes of problems. Introduction to Design. Materials and Process. Load Determination. Stress, Strain, and Deflection. Static Failure Theories. Fatigue Failure Theories. Surface Failure. Design Case Studies. Shafts, Keys, and Couplings. Bearings and Lubrication. Spur Gears. Helical, Bevel, and Worm Gears. Spring Design. Screws and Fasteners. Clutches and Brakes. For those interested in Mechanical Design.
