The book covers fundamental concepts, description, terminology, force analysis and methods of analysis and design. The emphasis in treating the machine elements is on methods and procedures that give the student competence in applying these to mechanical components in general. The book offers the students to learn to use the best available scientific understanding together with empirical information, good judgement, and often a degree of ingenuity, in order to produce the best product. Few unique articles e.g., chain failure modes, lubrication of chain drive, timing belt pulleys, rope lay selection, wire rope manufacturing methods, effect of sheave size etc
