Machine Design for Mobile and Industrial Applications (New ed)

Machine Design for Mobile and Industrial Applications serves as an excellent compendium of theoretical and practical information on selecting and designing machine components and assemblies.

From concept to final product, the book guides readers through key decisions such as determining which technological resources to use, and considering economics, timeliness, reliability, and safety in the design.

Building on skills engineers have already learned, the material covered in the book helps designers and engineers to create the most acceptable, aesthetic, efficient, and economical machinery to suit the need at hand.

Many examples of design problems are included, and each chapter includes homework problems and bibliographic references.

A thorough appendix section is included, and a complete solutions manual is available.

Well-illustrated with hundreds of figures and tables, the text references both metric and customary units. The book's chapters adopt an approach to systematically develop knowledge in the following areas: Philosophy of Design Materials and Manufacturing Specifying Geometric Tolerances for Quality Sizing and Using Stresses Fatigue Loading Joining of Parts Finite Element Analysis for Reliable Mechanical Systems Power Transmission and Mechanical Systems Components Motion and Force Analysis Hydraulic Power Systems.
