Synopsis:
The key to finding the best solution to a machine design problem is selecting the appropriate formula and the correct data, tasks that are especially difficult because machine design draws on principles from many different disciplines. This unique handbook provides hundreds of charts on material properties as well as the necessary equations, formulas, calculations, graphs and data required to solve the full range of machine design problems. This information is provided in both SI and Customary units. Details are presented in a clear, straightforward and accessible manner. Each chapter begins with a definition of the symbols, equations, graphs and data needed to solve the particular problems that follow. A significant feature is that equations are cross-referenced to tables and charts. And the more than 1000 illustrations are elegant and clear. This handbook should provide engineers and designers involved with virtually any aspect of machine design with the latest and most accurate technical information.
Book Description:
This unique handbook provides hundreds of charts on material properties as well as the necessary equations, formulas, calculations, graphs, and data required to solve the full range of machine design problems. No other reference provides this much information and in both SI and Customary units. Included are individual chapters on: Application of the latest analytic techniques in gear design; Calculation of friction, wear, and lubrication of sliding and contact bearings; Determination of axial load, torsion, and bending moment for shafts; Design of couplings, clutches and pressure in the design of plates, sheets, and pressure vessel heads. A comprehensive reference that contains current technical information for solving various types of machine design problems, including charts on material properties, as well as the necessary equations, formulas (empirical, semi-empirical, and otherwise), calculations, graphs, and data needed in day-to-day design work.
