Machine Design, 5e presents the subject matter in an up-to-date and thorough manner with a strong design emphasis. This textbook emphasizes failure theory and analysis as well as the synthesis and design aspects of machine elements. The book 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.
Key Features
- An integrated, case-based approach - This textbook emphasizes failure theory and analysis as well as the synthesis and design aspects of machine elements.
- Case Studies - The text is structured around a series of ten case studies that represent realistic design problems.
- Problem Sets - Most of the problem sets (75%) are independent within a chapter. The other 25% of the problem sets are still built upon in succeeding chapters.
New to This Edition
- New sections covering the fundamentals of kinematics have been added to Chapter 3.
- Over 90 problems are added or revised with all being in SI units.
- Twenty-one Master Lecture videos on the topics of most chapters are provided on the Companion Website. These are taken from the author’s live lectures to classes at WPI. The student can watch these videos to review and enhance their understanding of the book’s topics.
- Eight short videos are provided on the Companion Website in which the author demonstrates various principles of stress analysis and shows examples of common machine parts such as springs, gears, and bearings.
- Six videos that show real machinery in operation are also provided on the Companion Website.
- The author’s latest programs, Linkages and Dynacam are included on the Companion Website.
