Description
Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design, 11th edition
Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design has been the standard text for students beginning mechanical engineering design for close to 50 years. Richard G. Budynas and J. Keith Nisbett wrote this 11th edition around a practical approach that pairs core design theory with real industrial applications.
This is the hardcover edition published by McGraw Hill in 2019. It keeps the same clear writing style through an expanded set of updated problems and worked examples.
Core topics: stress, fatigue and machine elements
The book covers stress analysis, fatigue and structural design in depth, then applies those principles to the design of individual machine elements: gears, springs and bearings.
Built around design decisions and industry standards
Chapters walk through the engineering design decisions that go into a component and the standards that modern industrial parts are built to, so the theory connects to how parts are actually specified.
