Description: Focusing on how
a machine "feels" and behaves while operating, Machine Elements: Life
and Design seeks to impart both intellectual and emotional comprehension
regarding the "life" of a machine. It presents a detailed description
of how machines elements function, seeking to form a sympathetic attitude toward
the machine and to ensure its wellbeing through more careful and proper design.
The book is
divided into three sections for accessibility and ease of comprehension. The
first section is devoted to microscopic deformations and displacements both in
permanent connections and within the bodies of stressed parts. Topics include
relative movements in interference fit connections and bolted joints, visual
demonstrations and clarifications of the phenomenon of stress concentration,
and increasing the load capacity of parts using prior elasto-plastic
deformation and surface plastic deformation.
The second part
examines machine elements and units. Topics include load capacity calculations
of interference fit connections under bending, new considerations about the
role of the interference fit in key joints, a detailed examination of bolts
loaded by eccentrically applied tension forces, resistance of cylindrical
roller bearings to axial displacement under load, and a new approach to the
choice of fits for rolling contact bearings.
The third
section addresses strength calculations and life prediction of machine parts.
It includes information on the phenomena of static strength and fatigue;
correlation between calculated and real strength and safety factors; and error
migration.
