Mechanical Design of Machine Components ─ Si Version

Written by a leading expert in engineering mechanics and mechanical design, Ugural'sMechanical Design of Machine Components, Second Editon: SI Version provides a balanced, integrated approach to students taking their first Machine Design module. The text has 3 sections on Background Topics (Mechanics), Failure Prevention, and Design. Case studies are brought in to further integrate the presentation, and show realistic examples of design work. Optional coverage of Finite Element Analysis is included, along with other methods of analysis. Many new problems and examples have been added, along with more extensive coverage of failure and fatigue.

Ansel C. Ugural has been a visiting and research professor of mechanical engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He was a National Science Foundation fellow and has taught at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Ugural held positions at Fairleigh Dickinson University and earned his MS in mechanical engineering and PhD in engineering mechanics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Professor Ugural is the author of several books, including Mechanical Design of Machine Components (CRC Press, 2^nd ed., 2015); and Stresses in Beams, Plates, and Shells (CRC Press, 3rd ed., 2010). In addition, he has published numerous journal articles.
