Using an exceptionally readable, applied approach to the principles and practice of mechanical design, this text presents the concepts, procedures, data, and decision-analysis techniques students need to design safe, efficient, and workable machine elements - and to effectively integrate them into total systems. Hands-on in nature, it features an abundance of thoroughly worked and explained examples and topic-specific and comprehensive integrative reality-based problems and projects. The use of spreadsheets and the latest computational tools and extensive appendices provide realistic up-to-date data and techniques for use in problem solutions and design projects.* NEW-Groups chapters into three major parts to better relate chapters to one another: * Principles of Design and Stress Analysis - introduces the concepts of design philosophy and builds on earlier-learned principles of strength of materials, materials science, and manufacturing processes. * Design of a Mechanical Drive - shows how one example of a complete mechanical design (a power transmission) can be completed. Guides students through a series of related designs of the various machine elements with appropriate iteration among the designs and careful consideration for the interfaces between elements. * Design Details and Other Machine Elements. * These chapters can be covered in any order and selected topics can be used in different courses at the choice of the instructor. * NEW-Adds a chapter on Completion of the Design of a Power Transmission(chapter 15) - emphasizing the numerous decisions that must be made in such a design problem. * NEW-Makes greater use of spreadsheets and other computational aids - e.g., mathematical analysis software - for design analysis. * NEW-Updates references to national standards - e.g., American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI). * NEW-Expands design projects and student activities: * Refines the set of 30 different design projects that together require students to perform comprehensive designs from conceptualization through detail design.

Each chapter starts with The Big Picture to engage the students in discussion of the many contexts in which the principles in that chapter are used in real, practical design. It draws on the students own experience and builds their knowledge of the mechanical design field. It is based on the learning theories that students learn better when they can relate new concepts to past experiences and when they consider the whole before tackling the details. Can be used by instructors to spark discussion among the students. * NEW-Expands and carefully grades chapter-end problem sets. * Provides comprehensive practical, reality-based problems. * Adds smaller problems of a more focused nature to allow students to build their skills before taking on the more comprehensive problems. * NEW-Identifies key formulas with distinctive marginal symbols and labels for quick reference, and highlights summaries of design procedures with shading. * NEW-Updates all appendices. * Offers a very clear, easy-to-understand approach to creating designs.
Carefully explains the principles of a given topic and then shows how those principles result in effective approaches to design or to analyze machine elements. * Emphasizes that students must not only understand how to design individual machine elements, but should be able to design more comprehensive mechanical devices in which several elements must fit together, be convenient to manufacture and assemble, and operate reliably. * Focuses on the importance of designing practical systems - using readily available materials and easily implemented processes. * Contains many example problems that are solved completely with much discussion of the design decisions that must be made to produce a safe, practical design. * Provides an abundance of practical, reality-based chapter-end problem sets. * Features an extensive set of appendices with realistic data to use in problem solutions and design projects.
