TI - Mechanical analysis and design T2 - 2nd edition SN - 0023172657 (paperback) PY - 1995/// CY - [S.l.] PB - Prentice Hall N2 - Rigorous in approach, this book provides the strong theoretical background -- based on the principles of mechanics -- necessary for mechanical component analysis and design. Unlike others on the subject, it integrates coverage of basics, failure prevention, and the design of mechanical elements, and provides a detailed and consistent presentation of the process of analysis -- from the underlying assumptions and limitations, to the final results, discussion of those results, references to alternative approaches, and numerous and interesting practical problems. Covers the full range of topics -- fluid-film lubrication and sliding element bearings; friction theory and applications; brakes, clutches, and belt drives; miscellaneous transmission components; stress, strain, and strength; design for fatigue strength and life, shaft design; thermal properties and stresses; residual stresses; threaded connections; axially symmetrical loading; mechanical components in flexure; surface contacts, cams, general shapes; and rolling-element bearing; spur, helical, bevel and worm gears; gear trains, power screws; torsion; impact. The Second Edition features updated coverage of gears and gear trains; boundary lubrication; threaded connections; nonlinear behavior of belleville springs; and large-deflections of beams.
