Excerpt from The Elements of Machine Design
IT may perhaps be inferred from the need of a Fourth Edition of this Treatise within less than five years from its first publication, that it has proved useful to those for whom it was intended. That an English Text-book of Machine Design was likely to be serviceable was very apparent to the author, but to write such a Text-book satisfactorily involves not only much practical knowledge, but consider able labour in comparing the dimensions which workshop experience has shown to be necessary, with those deduced on mechanical principles from the forces acting in the machine, so far as they are known. Probably no one is more aware than the author how far this Treatise falls short of what such a Treatise might be. It is pleasant, therefore, to have reason to think that, in spite of defects and omis sions, it has not altogether failed in its purpose.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the first twelve chapters of the classic text "The Elements of Machine Design," an essential guide to the design of machine parts. Originally written by W. Cawthorne Unwin, this treatise has been revised by the author to include important updates and revisions. The book commences with an examination of the various materials used in machine construction, including cast iron, wrought iron, and steel. The author explores their properties, strengths, and weaknesses, providing valuable insights into their suitability for different applications. Next, the book delves into the types of straining actions that machines are subjected to, such as tension, compression, bending, and torsion. The author explains how to calculate the stresses induced by these actions and provides guidance on how to design machine parts that can withstand them. Chapters on riveted joints, bolts, nuts, keys, and cotters provide practical advice on how to connect and secure machine components. The book also covers bearings, friction, and toothed gearing, offering a thorough understanding of the principles and practices involved in these aspects of machine design. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of safety and reliability in machine design. He discusses the concept of a factor of safety and provides guidelines for determining appropriate safety factors for different applications. By combining theoretical principles with practical examples and insights, this book provides a solid foundation for understanding the principles of machine design and equips readers with the knowledge and skills to design safe, efficient, and reliable machines.
