Machine Design for Mechanical Engineering

This book has been designed and written to support the learning process in the Fundamentals of Machine Design course. It is therefore limited and dedicated to topics included in the contents of the book only. The arrangement of chapters is also governed by solve examples, assignments offered and problems. Each chapter comprises the body of a chapter together with illustration material. Some of the drawings shall be completed concurrently with my explanations during the chapters. The content of this book is 14 chapters and references and the objectives of this book are: 1) To incorporate knowledge learned in the mechanics, structures, materials, and manufacturing courses. 2) To reinforce competence in multi-axis stress analysis and understand the importance of using them to determine principal stresses and maximum shear stresses. 3) To obtain a working knowledge in the use of the proper failure theories under steady and variable loadings. 4) To master the design of mechanical elements, such as shafts, power screws, bolts and welded connections, spring, pressure vessels and transmitted power elements such as belts, chain, gears and wire ropes.
