Most engineers and technicians learn machine design and industrial maintenance as separate subjects. A design text explains how to size a shaft, select a bearing, or specify a gear ratio, then stops once the component leaves the drawing board. A maintenance reference picks up only after that same component is installed and starts wearing or failing, often without tracing the failure back to the design decision that set it in motion.
This book closes that gap with one continuous reference, moving from mechanics fundamentals through the individual machine-element families that make up industrial equipment, to the vibration, alignment, and reliability practices that determine how long a correctly designed machine actually lasts in service. Every chapter carries a worked example's units through every step, in SI units with US customary equivalents alongside, and every practice problem includes a checkable, boxed answer.
Inside, readers will practice how to:
- Construct free-body diagrams and apply stress, strain, and failure-theory calculations to real machine components, with every step shown in full.
- Size and select shafts, keys, couplings, rolling-element and hydrodynamic bearings, gear sets, and belt, chain, and wire-rope drives for a specified load and service life.
- Work through hydraulic and pneumatic circuit fundamentals as they apply to industrial actuation and power transmission, and size clutches and brakes for real transmission-control tasks.
- Read vibration spectra, recognize common fault patterns such as imbalance, misalignment, and looseness, and align rotating machinery.
- Apply reliability metrics, including mean time between failures, mean time to repair, and Weibull analysis, to plan realistic maintenance intervals.
- Use condition-monitoring techniques, including oil analysis, thermography, ultrasonic inspection, and motor current signature analysis, within a structured predictive maintenance program.
- Apply failure mode and effects analysis and root cause analysis methods to diagnose recurring equipment problems, supported throughout by a glossary, symbol list, and appendices covering unit conversions, material properties, and standards references.
Begin building a connected understanding of how machines are designed, sized, and kept running.
Get your copy and start working through the mechanics, machine elements, and reliability practices that turn a well-designed component into a machine that keeps running.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
