The academic course of Machine Design Elements and Assemblies (a.k.a. “Machine Design,” “Mechanical Engineering Design,” etc.) is based on the fundamentals of several different core disciplines, and should prepare students to meet challenges associated with solving real-life mechanical engineering design problems commonly found in industry.   Other works focus primarily on verifying calculations of existing machine elements in isolation, while this textbook goes beyond and includes the design calculations necessary for determining the specifications of elements for new assemblies, and accounting for the interaction between them.   Machine Design Elements and Assemblies addresses the design considerations associated with the functionality of a full assembly. Most chapters end with a design project that gets progressively more complex.    Numerous reviews of prerequisite materials are purposely not included in this title, resulting in a more concise, more practical, and far less expensive product for students, engineers, and professors.   Rounding out this incredible package are 120 problems and answers that can be assigned as homework. And nearly 400 additional problems are available on the book’s affiliated website, www.machinedesignea.com.
This book is primarily a guide for professionals and can be used by students of Dynamics. It features 96 real-life problems in dynamics that are common in all engineering fields; including industrial, mechanical and electrical. And it uses a special table guide that allows the reader to find the solution to each specific problem. The descriptions of the solutions of problems are presented in the chapters 3 to 18.Features   ·         The analysis of the structure of the differential equation of motion, as well as the analysis of the components that constitute this equation presented in the Chapter 1 allow readers to understand the principles of composing the differential equation of motion for actual engineering systems. ·         Presents the straightforward universal methodology of solving linear differential equations of motion based on the Laplace transform. ·         The table of Laplace Transform pairs presented in the Chapter 1 is based on reviewing numerous related analytical sources and represents a comprehensive source containing sufficient information for solving the differential equations of motion for common engineering systems. ·         Helps determine the number of possible common engineering problems based on the analysis of the structure of the differential equation of motion, as well as on the realistic resisting and active loading factors that constitute the differential equation of motion. ·         Each paragraph represents a standalone description.  There is no need to look for notations or analytical techniques throughout the book. The book contains all required supplemental information for solving the problems. 
This comprehensive yet compact step-by-step guide to solving real life mechanical engineering problems in dynamics offers all the necessary methodologies and supplemental information—in one place. It includes numerous solutions of examples of linear, non-linear, and two-degree-of-freedom systems. These solutions demonstrate in detail the process of the analytical investigations of actual mechanical engineering problems in dynamics. It is sure to be a very useful guide for students in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, as well practitioners who need to analyze and solve a variety of problems in dynamics.
