Overview
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.Editorials

This new edition allows students to test their new skills and knowledge by designing a gear-type speed reducer. The project involves many of the concepts covered: conceptualization, decision analysis, and general layout; design and analysis of the components, tolerances and fits, applied to critical elements; and detail drawings and specifications of the housing and the major components of the reducer. Intended for undergraduate students with a background in algebra, trigonometry, and statistics taking a first course in machine design. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
