Considered a standard in the course, Juvinall and Marshek's,
Fundamentals of Machine Component Design continues to
focus on the fundamentals of component design -- free body
diagrams, force flow concepts, failure theories, and fatigue
design, with applications to fasteners, springs, bearings, gears,
clutches, and brakes. Problem-solving skills are developed by
the implementation of a proven methodology which provides a
structure for accurately formulating problems and clearly
presenting solutions. The fifth edition includes additional
coverage of composites, the material selection process, and
wear/wear theory, along with new and updated examples and homework
problems.
