Machine Design for Mobile and Industrial Applications serves as an excellent compendium for students and engineers to provide theoretical and practical information on selecting and designing machine components and assemblies. From concept to final product, the book guides readers through key decisions to help create the most acceptable, aesthetic, efficient, and economical machinery to suit the need at hand.

The revised second edition has many changes to keep students and designers up-to-date with growing technology and new processes. The newly added chapter on designing with plastics and rubber is unique to this book and the chapters covering Power Transmission and Mechanical Systems and Motion and Force Analysis have been extensively rewritten.

Written in an easy-to-understand manner, the book includes many real-world examples of design problems as well as hundreds of diagrams and tables to help facilitate learning. Each chapter ends with homework problems and references and a comprehensive appendix section includes conversions, tables, standards, and mechanical requirements of selected components.

Chapters cover:

Philosophy of Design - includes Formulating a Procedure, Three Types of Design, Communicating Ideas, Ethical Engineering Issues in the Future, Safety Index, Reliability, and Standards; Materials and Manufacturing - includes Materials, Numbering Systems for Carbon Steels and Aluminums, Nomenclature for Material Properties, Manufacturing Processes, and Tooling; Specifying Geometric Tolerances for Quality - includes Tolerances and Allowances, Application of Statistics to Manufacturing, Overlapping Tolerances, Assembly Condition of Clearance, Tolerances for Parts Assembled with Bolts, and Economics of Toleranceing; Sizing and Using Stresses - covers Uniaxial Stresses, Combined Stresses, Stress Failure Theories, Stress Concentrations, Beam Bending and Shafts, Designing for Deflection, Strain Determination, Plastic Design, and Stress Caused by Impact; Fatigue Loading - covers fatigue, Soderberg Equations, Miner's Rules, Strain-Range Method, Hydraulic Power Systems - covers Hydraulic Circuits, Pumps, Motors, Cylinders, Conrol Valves, Hoses and Fittings, Sizing Hydrostatic Transmissions, Filters, Coolers and Reservoirs, and Electrohydaulic Systems and Valves; and Design of Rubber and Plastic Components - includes Rubber Polymer Properties, Mechanical Properties, Vibratory Systems, Sealing with Rubber O-rings, and Designing with Plastics.
