New to This Edition This eighth edition contains the following significant enhancements:
Encourage readers to link fundamental concepts with practical component specification.
Encourage readers to link design and analysis.
Offer a practical approach to the subject through a wide range of real-world applications and examples.
Cover the basics of machine design, including the design process, engineering mechanics and materials, failure prevention under static and variable loading, and characteristics of the principal types of mechanical elements.
For this reason, as students transition to practicing engineers, they will find that this text is indispensable as a reference text. Students of this text should find that it inherently directs them into familiarity with both the basis for decisions and the standards of industrial components. The focus is on blending fundamental development of concepts with practical specification of components. Objectives This text is intended for students beginning the study of mechanical engineering design.
