Mechanical Design Handbook

The Mechanical Design Fast Answer Guide When you need to make any machine or mechanical component faster, stronger, quieter, cheaper, more reliable, more efficient, or better performing--in short, to optimize it for today's demanding customers--reach for Harold A. Rothbart's Mechnical Design Handbook. Packed with more than 1,400 pages of practical data, this encyclopedic fast-answer guide spans the entire range of mechanical design--from standard table to classic analytical methods. Over 50 of the world's top engineers and designers give you complete fingertip data on: static and fatigue design; materials for engineering components and machinery; system effectiveness; mechanics of materials; effects of friction, lubrication, and wear on machine performance and life; standards of threads, bolts, screws, washers, pins, key, and pipes; kinematic movement of rigid mechanical parts; Cam mechanisms; machine systems and much more.
