Machine Design Data Handbook

The key to finding the best solution to a machine design problem is selecting the appropriate formula and the correct data, tasks that are especially difficult because machine design draws on principles from many different disciplines. This unique handbook provides hundreds of charts on material properties as well as the necessary equations, formulas, calculations, graphs and data required to solve the full range of machine design problems. This information is provided in both SI and Customary units. Details are presented in a clear, straightforward and accessible manner. Each chapter begins with a definition of the symbols, equations, graphs and data needed to solve the particular problems that follow. A significant feature is that equations are cross-referenced to tables and charts. And the more than 1000 illustrations are elegant and clear. This handbook should provide engineers and designers involved with virtually any aspect of machine design with the latest and most accurate technical information.
