Machine design data handbook

The key to finding the best solution to a machine design problem is selecting the appropriate formula and the correct data, tasks that are especially difficult because machine design draws on principles from many different disciplines. This unique handbook provides hundreds of charts on material properties as well as the necessary equations, formulas, calculations, graphs, and data required to solve the full range of machine design problems. No other reference provides this much information and in both SI and Customary units. Included are individual chapters on: Application of the latest analytic techniques in gear design; Calculation of friction, wear, and lubrication of sliding and contact bearings; Determination of axial load, torsion, and bending moment for shafts; Design of couplings, clutches, and brakes; Selection of standard materials for flexible machine elements; Methods of quantifying static and dynamic stress and stress concentration in machine elements; Design of cams under dynamic conditions; Analysis of temperature, corrosion, and pressure in the design of plates, sheets, and pressure vessel heads.
