Design Of Machinery

This text provides information on the design of machinery. It presents vector mathematical and matrix solution methods for analysis of both kinetic and dynamic analysis topics, and emphasizes the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis of engineering problems. The author aims to convey the art of the design process in order to prepare students to successfully tackle genuine engineering problems encountered in practice. The book also emphasizes the synthesis and design aspects of the subject with analytical synthesis of linkages covered and cam design is given a thorough and practical treatment.

Kinematics, Dynamics, and Design of Machinery, Third Edition, presents a fresh approach to kinematic design and analysis and is an ideal textbook for senior undergraduates and graduates in mechanical, automotive and production engineering Presents the traditional approach to the design and analysis of kinematic problems and shows how GCP can be used to solve the same problems more simply Provides a new and simpler approach to cam design Includes an increased number of exercise problems Accompanied by a website hosting a solutions manual, teaching slides and MATLAB® programs

This book covers the kinematics and dynamics of machinery topics. It emphasizes the synthesis and design aspects and the use of computer-aided engineering. A sincere attempt has been made to convey the art of the design process to students in order to prepare them to cope with real engineering problems in practice. This book provides up-to-date methods and techniques for analysis and synthesis that take full advantage of the graphics microcomputer by emphasizing design as well as analysis. In addition, it details a more complete, modern, and thorough treatment of cam design than existing texts in print on the subject. The author’s website at www.designofmachinery.com has updates, the author’s computer programs and the author’s PowerPoint lectures exclusively for professors who adopt the book. Features Student-friendly computer programs written for the design and analysis of mechanisms and machines. Downloadable computer programs from website Unstructured, realistic design problems and solutions

Incorporating Chinese, European, and International standards and units of measurement, this book presents a classic subject in an up-to-date manner with a strong emphasis on failure analysis and prevention-based machine element design. It presents concepts, principles, data, analyses, procedures, and decision-making techniques necessary to design safe, efficient, and workable machine elements. Design-centric and focused, the book will help students develop the ability to conceptualize designs from written requirements and to translate these design concepts into models and detailed manufacturing drawings. Presents a consistent approach to the design of different machine elements from failure analysis through strength analysis and structural design, which facilitates students’ understanding, learning, and integration of analysis with design Fundamental theoretical topics such as mechanics, friction, wear and lubrication, and fluid mechanics are embedded in each chapter to illustrate design in practice Includes examples, exercises, review questions, design and practice problems, and CAD examples in each self-contained chapter to enhance learning Analysis and Design of Machine Elements is a design-centric textbook for advanced undergraduates majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Advanced students and engineers specializing in product design, vehicle engineering, power machinery, and engineering will also find it a useful reference and practical guide.

Covering the fundamental principles of bearing selection, design, and tribology, this book discusses basic physical principles of bearing selection, lubrication, design computations, advanced bearings materials, arrangement, housing, and seals, as well as recent developments in bearings for high-speed aircraft engines. The author explores unique solutions to challenging design problems and presents rare case studies, such as hydrodynamic and rolling-element bearings in series and adjustable hydrostatic pads for large bearings. He focuses on the design considerations and calculations specific to hydrodynamic journal bearings, hydrostatic bearings, and rolling element bearings.
