Presents a consistent approach to the design of different machine elements from failure analysis through strength analysis and structural design, which facilitates students? understanding, learning, and integration of analysis with design
Fundamental theoretical topics such as mechanics, friction, wear and lubrication, and fluid mechanics are embedded in each chapter to illustrate design in practice
Includes examples, exercises, review questions, design and practice problems, and CAD examples in each self-contained chapter to enhance learning
Analysis and Design of Machine Elements is a design-centric textbook for advanced undergraduates majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Advanced students and engineers specializing in product design, vehicle engineering, power machinery, and engineering will also find it a useful reference and practical guide.
