The book aims to provide a comprehensive and practical approach to the design of machine elements, with an emphasis on the theoretical considerations, analytical methods, and design procedures. The book covers various topics such as stress analysis, failure theories, design of joints, shafts, gears, bearings, brakes, clutches, springs, belts, chains, flywheels, and more. The book also includes numerous solved examples, unsolved problems, review questions, and objective type questions to help the students test their understanding and prepare for examinations.
The book is divided into three parts: Part I deals with the basic concepts and principles of machine design; Part II covers the design of various machine elements; and Part III discusses some special topics such as design for fatigue strength, design for manufacturing, and computer-aided design. The book also has several appendices that provide useful data and information for machine design.
The book is widely used by students and teachers of mechanical engineering as well as practicing engineers and designers. The book has received positive feedback from the readers for its clarity, simplicity, and logical presentation of the subject matter. The book is also available in digital format on Google Books and Amazon.
