Mechanical Design of Machine Elements and Machines: A Failure Prevention Perspective, 2nd Edition

•     Rewritten text in the multi-axial fatigue section(s)

•     Added rolling cones, cylinders to gear chapter.

•     Added more information on gear trains in gear ch.

1. Converted tables, charts, etc to include SI units.
2. Tables have been moved to a central location.
3. Added equation summary at the end of each ch.
4. Added photographs for certain key components: failures, fatigue, gears, springs, shafts, etc.
5. Created new figures for additional topics, examples and problems, where appropriate.

• Inclusion of latest available revisions of applicable codes and standards for standardized elements such as gears, rolling-element bearings, V-belts, precision roller-chain, and others.

Examples

•     Added additional examples: plain bearings, rolling element bearings, machine joints, springs, gears, flywheels, power transmission shafting.

•     Reworked existing examples so that they progress from simple to more complex examples.

•     Approximately 50% of the examples are SI.

Homework Problems

•     Converted a percentage of existing problems to SI.

•     Added new problems to several chapters: Chapter 8, power transmission shafting, Chapter 9, pressurized cylinders, Chapter 10, Plain bearings, Chapter 13, machine joints, Chapter 15, gears and system of gears, Chapter 16, brakes and clutches, Chapter 17, belts, chains, wire rope.

•     Open ended computer problems for several chapters.
