Design of Machine Elements: Volume II

This book covers fundamental concepts, description, terminology, force analysis and methods of analysis and design of various machine elements like Curved Beams, Springs, Spur, Helical, Bevel and Worm Gears, Clutches, Brakes, Belts, Ropes, Chains, Ball Bearings and Journal Bearings. The emphasis in treating the machine elements is on the methods and procedures that give the student enough competence in applying these methods and procedures to mechanical components in general. This book offers the students to learn to use the best available design knowledge together with empirical information, logical judgment, and often a degree of ingenuity in mechanical engineering design. Following are the salient features of the book: compatible with the "Machine Design Data Books" (of same publisher and other famous books), it offers step by step procedure for design of machine elements. In this title, large and variety of problems are solved. Thought provoking exercise problems are included. The example design problems and solution techniques are spelled out in detail. Thorough and in depth treatment of design of the requisite machine elements is provided. This title includes balance between analysis and design. It emphasises on the materials, properties and analysis of the machine elements. Selection of Material and factor of safety are given for each machine element. All the illustrations are done with the help of suitable diagrams. This title is written as per Indian Standards.
