Mechanical Engineering Design

Mcgraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering

by Richard G Budynas

The seventh edition of "Mechanical Engineering Design" marks a return to the basic approaches that have made this book the standard in machine design for over 40 years. At the same time, the textbook has been significantly updated and modernized for today's engineering students and professional engineers. Working from extensive market research and reviews of the 6/e, the new 7/e features reduced coverage of uncertainty and statistical methods. Statistics is now treated (in chapter 2) as one of several methods available to design engineers, and statistical applications are no longer integrated throughout the text, examples and problem sets. Other major changes include updated coverage of the design process, streamlined coverage of statistics, a more practical overview of materials and materials selection (moved to chapter 3), revised coverage of failure and fatigue, and review of basic strength of materials topics to make a clearer link with prerequisite courses. Overall coverage of basic concepts has been made more clear and concise, with some advanced topics deleted, so that readers can easily navigate key topics. Problem sets have been improved, with new problems added to help students progressively work through them. The book has an Online Learning Center with several powerful MATLAB for Machine Design (featuring highly visual MATLAB simulations and accompanying source code); the "FEPC" finite element program, with accompanying Finite Element Primer and FEM Tutorials; interactive FE Exam questions for Machine Design; and Machine Design Tutorials for study of key concepts from Parts I and II of the text. Complete Problem Solutions and PowerPoint slides of book illustrations are available for instructors, under password protection. A printed Instructor's Solutions Manual is also available, with detailed solutions to all chapter problems.

بهترین کتاب طراحی اجزایی که خوانده ام. قطعا کتابیه در سطح جهانی و عالی

[Navid · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is being used as a handbook in educating mechanical engineers but in its nature it is really not a handbook, it is a textbook. So there are a lot of details that are "in the way" when you want to use this book in engineering practice.

it actually has "mistakes",
then again design id is subjective, what is allowable for some guy isn't for another.
but over all the book is very good.
the british units were a bummer though.

A mechanical engineering book - what can you say? Actually, one of THE BEST fundamental M.E. books I've, and many other ME's have read (yes, we engineers do have social skills :)

Anyone interested in mechanical engineering design should read Mechanical Engineering Design by Joseph Edward Shigley and Richard G. Budynas. From the fundamentals of engineering materials and stress analysis to the design of mechanical components and systems, this book is a thorough reference that covers all facets of mechanical design.

This book's easy-to-understand writing style, which makes even difficult subjects understandable, is one of its strong points. Additionally, the writers clarify crucial ideas with a tonne of diagrams, examples, and pictures to make it simpler for readers to put what they have learned into practise.

The focus of this book is on useful design concerns, which is another outstanding aspect. In addition to outlining the theory underlying mechanical design, the authors offer helpful guidance on how to apply this theory to actual issues. This makes the book a priceless tool for both practising engineers and engineering students.

Overall, I heartily endorse Joseph Edward Shigley and Richard G. Budynas' Mechanical Engineering Design. It is a top-notch textbook that offers a thorough review of mechanical design and is written in a way that will keep readers interested.

Think of this book as your friendly book that won't die - it's one of the only few I keep referring to years late. Sorta like that wise friend who explains things without making your brain explode.

You know how some engineering texts feel like they're written by robots for other robots? Well, this one is refreshingly.... better. Clear, simple explanations that you can understand.

For mechanical engineers, this book and a design handbook are like Batman and Robin - you really need both. And here's the real kicker: when you're knee-deep in FE analyses (and questioning all your life choices), this book becomes your personal sanity checker. Those formulas are like a built-in BS detector.

Mind you - this isn't your one-size-fits-all engineering bible. You'll still need your solid mechanics texts, materials guides, and design handbooks... but this is usually my first go-to.

Excelente libro.

[Lawrence Kelley · Rating 5 out of 5]

We used the *5th edition* (Shigley & Mischke) in our ME-Machine Design training at Clarkson University (~1991, Potsdam, New York). I still reference this hardcopy, supplementing w/ Internet ME-technology updates. Since hardcopy resides in my home-office's library shelf, I'll never be "finished" with this book, GoodReads! :)

it 's will be good for my friends

I'm actually reading the much newer 8th edition of this book. It's very good.
