Machine elements are individual parts or components of a machine. These include frames, joints, screws, wheels, axles, seals, gears and drives. This book, Design Of Machine Elements, goes into the various factors that are involved in the design of these parts and components. The book begins with a chapter that provides an overview of the topics covered under machine elements design. It discusses the design considerations and methods of design etc. The second chapter covers the different kinds of materials used in designing machine elements.
The third chapter looks at the Manufacturing Consideration in Design. This includes discussions of manufacturing methods, tolerances, types and selection of fits etc. The next two chapters focus on design procedures against Static Loads and Fluctuating Loads. The book then proceeds to discuss various machine elements in separate chapters. The machine elements discussed include Power Screws, Shafts, Keys and Couplings, Welded and Riveted Joints, and Threaded Joints.
This text also covers Brakes, Friction Clutches, Chain and Belt Drives, Springs, and Sliding Contact Bearings. It also goes into other machine elements like various types of gears including Spur, Worm, Bevel and Helical Gears, Rolling Contact Bearings, Cylinders and Pressure Vessels, Flywheel, and some Miscellaneous Machine Elements. The twenty fourth chapter focuses on some Statistical Considerations in Design of machine elements. Then the book discusses the Design of Internal Combustion Engine Components.
