Revised and updated, this edition incorporates several improvements that stress and promote precise thought in the solution of mechanical component design problems. The major change is the addition of the sample problem format, which includes a restatement, solution and comments for the problem with respect to: given, find, schematic, decisions, assumptions, analysis and comments. A decisions format has also been added and allows students to clearly see the differences between design and analysis. Further changes include a more in-depth and unified treatment of the basics of work, energy and power, and their relationship to the thermodynamic approach; a more direct presentation of the systems of units and dimensions, and additional homework problems.
A proven approach for analyzing and solving mechanical component problems To solve mechanical component problems, you need a solid understanding of the fundamentals of component design as well as good engineering judgment. Juvinall and Marshek s Fundamentals of Machine Component Design, Fourth Edition will help you develop both, so you can apply your knowledge, skills, and imagination to professional engineering problems.
Now revised and updated, this Fourth Edition continues to focus on the fundamentals of component design free body diagrams, force flow concepts, failure theories, and fatigue design, with applications to fasteners, springs, bearings, gears, shafts, clutches, and brakes. A proven problem–solving methodology guides you through the process of accurately formulating problems and clearly presenting solutions. Graphical procedures help you visualize the solution format, develop added insight about the significance of the results, and determine how the design can be improved.
Filled with solved examples, problems, and handy tables, this text will be a valuable reference throughout your academic and professional careers.
