Machine Elements in Mechanical Design (Hardcover)

Machine Elements in Mechanical Design (Hardcover)

Gears, shafts, bearings and fasteners all have to be sized and chosen with care. This machine elements in mechanical design hardcover is the textbook by Robert Mott, Edward Vavrek and Jyhwen Wang that teaches that work, published by Pearson Education in 2017.

It is an 880-page mechanical engineering text, pitched at adult and further education levels. Students in design courses and working engineers are the two groups it is written for.

Designing with machine elements

The book covers machine elements as they are used in mechanical design. It is the type of course text used in a machine design class, where students move from analysing parts to choosing and sizing them for a working machine.

A durable hardcover

At 880 pages, a hardcover binding makes sense. The book will see a semester of heavy use, and many engineers keep their machine design text long after graduation.

Who it suits

Mechanical engineering and engineering technology students, plus practising engineers in technology and engineering roles who want a reference on machine components.

How the book fits a design course

A machine design course asks students to pick and size real components for a working machine. Students usually read a chapter on one element, work through the examples, then apply the method to a project or problem set. Engineers out of school come back to the same chapters when a design calls for an element they have not sized in a while. The worked methods in the text give them a starting point they already know from school.
