Fundamental Concepts of Machine Design

This book covers various details regarding machine design like basic concepts of stress and strains, moment of inertia for planar cross sections, flexural stresses, torsion, design against static and fluctuating loads, beams and columns, shafts and keys, power screws and threaded joints used for various applications. The book is conceived as a standard reference book for students, experts, and policy makers. While covering the basics of scientific and engineering principles of machine design, the book further deals with ample solved numericals for various machine components. The book is designed to fulfill the much awaited need for a handy, scientific, and easy to understand comprehensive handbook for design professionals and students of mechanical and mechatronics engineering courses. Besides the sheer breadth of the topics covered, what makes this well researched book different from earlier attempts is the fact that this is based on extensive practical experiences of the editor and the authors. This book will be really useful for all undergraduate, postgraduate students, research scholar as well as faculties of various universities.
