Written primarily to support a Junior-Senior level sequence of courses in Mechanical Engineering Design, this text takes the viewpoint that failure prevention is the cornerstone concept underlying all mechanical design activity. The text is presented in two parts, Part I--Engineering Principles, containing 7 chapters, and Part II--Design Applications, containing 13 chapters. Due to its organization, the text can also be conveniently used as the basis for continuing education courses or short-courses directed toward graduate engineers, as well as a reference book for mechanical designers engaged in professional practice.
Key Features
- Comprehensive coverage of failure models. Basic tools are introduced for recognizing potential failure models that may govern in any specific design scenario.
- Modern coverage of materials. The materials selection concepts presented introduce some new ideas and are a virtual necessity for any competent design engineer.
- Failure theories and related topics (Chapter 5). Topics which play a significant role in identifying failure (multiaxial states of stress and stress concentrations) are presented as a prelude to static and fatigue failure theories.
- Guidelines for creating efficient shapes and sizes for components and machines (Ch 6).
- Concurrent engineering and "Design-for-X" ideas (Chapter 7). These are important in modern manufacturing practice and should be introduced in a well-rounded course in mechanical engineering design.
- Conceptual introductions to machine elements (Chapters 8 through 19). Designed to help students with little or no exposure to machines, structures, or industrial practice, each chapter in Part II follows a consistent pattern: "Uses and Characteristics"--What does it look like? What does it do? What variations are available?; "Probable failure models"--based on practical experience”; "Typical materials used for the application"-- common design practice.
- Clear sketches and detailed tables to support virtually all of the important design and selection issues discussed.
