DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/edbea6/fundamentals_of_ma) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Fundamentals of Machine Component Design, 5th Edition" to their offering.
Considered a standard in the course, Juvinall and Marshek's, 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.
Executive Summary:
- Problem Solving Methodology & Graphical Procedures. The problem-solving methodology used in the text helps students to formulate machine component problems accurately and to present solutions clearly. The graphical procedures employed help students to understand and visualize what is going on, develop added insight about the significance of the results, and think about how the design might be improved
- Emphasizes the basic concepts of Fracture Mechanics - Section includes stress-intensity factor charts for eight common geometric configurations. Introductory fracture mechanics problems support understanding these critical concepts
- Fatigue coverage. Chapter 8's Fatigue coverage continues its graphical approach of previous editions, including a section on fatigue crack growth which examines the fracture mechanics of crack growth under alternating loads. This important chapter offers additional analysis problems and many new open-ended problems
- Extensive coverage in appendices of important reference information for this course including the following topics: engineering materials, processing methods, joinability, materials for machine component design, selected engineering materials, and relations between failure modes and material properties.
