Mechanical Design engineering elements
The overall aims of this book are to introduce the subject of total design and the design and selection of various common mechanical engineering components and machine elements. These provide building blocks’ with which the designer and engineer can practise their art. The approach adopted for defining design follows that developed by the SEED (Sharing Experience in Engineering Design) programme where design is viewed as the ‘the total activity necessary to provide a product or process to meet a market need’.Within this framework the text is concentrated on developing detailed mechanical design skills in the areas of bearings, shafts, gears, seals, belt and chain drives, clutches and brakes, springs and fasteners.Where standard components are available from manufacturers, the steps necessary for their specification and selection are developed. The framework used within the text has been to provide descriptive and illustrative information to introduce principles and individual components and to expose the reader to the detailed methods and calculations necessary to specify and design or select a component. To provide the reader with sufficient information to develop the necessary skills to repeat calculations and selection processes, detailed examples and worked solutions are supplied throughout the text.
