Design Of Machine Elements

by Kamaraju Ramakrishna

Design of Machine Elements provides a detailed exposition of the principal theories behind the design process and their application in various machine members, including transmission elements. It is written to cater to the students of undergraduate mechanical engineering and allied disciplines for a two-semester course on the subject.Beginning with a detailed discussion of the underlying principles of materials selection, load, stress analysis and theories of failure in the first nine chapters, the book in subsequent chapters, applies the learnt principles through various machine members such as welded joints, springs, bearings, gears and shafts. It further provides an exhaustive coverage of the design application of various transmission elements such as belts, pulleys and flywheels. Key • Adopts a step-wise solution methodology along with contextual headings to each step • Includes photographs of various machine components that are directly relevant to the discussion• Provides a solution outline listing the steps to be followed for arriving at the desired solution for select complex problems in the book • Presents more than 360 solved examples and as many as 350 numerical exercises• Includes more than 370 multiple-choice questions and plenty of review questions• Includes exclusive chapters on Piping that assumes significance in transportation of fluids and machine tool beds and slide ways that provide a quick overview of machine tool designOnline resourcesFor • Solutions manual • PowerPoint lecture slidesFor Faculty and • Photographs of machines illustrated in the book• Additional multiple-choice questions with answersTable of Contents1.
