the BOOK
This textbook is designed to serve as a text for undergraduate
students of mechanical engineering. It covers fundamental principles,
design methodologies and applications of machine elements. It helps
students to learn to analyse and design basic machine elements in
mechanical systems.
Beginning with the basic concepts, the book discusses wide range
of topics in design of mechanical elements. The emphasis is on
the underlying concepts of design procedures. The inclusion of
machine tool design makes the book very useful for the students of
production engineering. Students will learn to design different types
of elements used in the machine design process such as fasteners,
shafts, couplings, etc. and will be able to design these elements for
each application.
Following a simple and easy to understand approach, the text
contains:
• Variety of illustrated design problems in detail
• Step by step design procedures of different machine elements
• Large number of machine design data
