Machine Elements in Mechanical Design

By Robert L. Mott

Book Overview

The concepts, procedures, data, and analysis techniques needed to design and integrate machine elements into mechanical devices and systems. For over three decades students and practicing engineers have used Machine Elements in Mechanical Design to learn about the principles and practices of mechanical design. They have either continued to use the text in their careers, or have newly discovered it as an invaluable resource in their work. With an emphasis on applying the technology of various machine elements while considering those elements in the context of the larger machine, this text references a broad array of available resources, from industrial sources to professional organizations. It promotes practical decision making in design and provides excellent preparation for moving from an academic environment to a professional position with strong, long-term growth potential. Continuing the book's emphasis on proven approaches and the use of readily available materials, and its focus on practical, safe, and efficient design, this edition includes new content and adjustments contributed by the two new coauthors and features stronger technical content in stress analysis, a wider set of technical topics, and beautiful enhancements to the visual attractiveness of the book throughout numerous new full-color graphic illustrations. Appreciated for its readability, while recognized for its technical strength and comprehensive coverage of the material, Machine Elements in Mechanical Design is the ideal guide to the skills and knowledge needed for success in this field.

Customer Reviews

Good for inventors

Doesn't get into much theory. Tells how to answer questions like, how many v belts do I need? How big of an I beam should I use? How many bolts? Gets in quick with come formulas. But at times you might need to reference an engineering text book to understand some background. Lacks a section on hydraulics.

Mechanical Elements in Machine Design

I had to purchase this book for a college machine design class I am taking and it is pretty east to understand

Machine Elements in Mechanical Design is a great work!

I really have enjoyed using this book. It's a great overview of all elements in a mechanical design and the calculations necessary to make sure those elements do not fail under load. The book is written in a way that makes it easy to use. Just the right blend of explanation, calculation, and Graphs are used to provide the user with an excellent resource for many years of engineering work. I love this book and find it very valuable to have in collection of mechanical engineering books.

Excellent book for a working machine designer

I bought this book to get the basics of machine design and I am very happy with it. It has the basic stuff that you need to design mechanical devices. It covers the material very thoroughly and it does not blow you away with advanced math. Highly recommended.

It's actually what a designer needs!

This book is excellent becouse can easily explain the features, theory and practice in a very understandble way. Thank you Mr. Mott, now my work in my company is really profitable!

It's really what you need!

Before read this book my work at a company where i work used to be so slow. I've read other books but this is the best one for designers. Thank you Mr. Mott your book made my job actually profitable!
