This indispensable reference goes beyond explaining the basics of mechanics, strength of materials, and materials properties by showing readers how to apply these fundamentals to specific machine components. They'll learn how to solve mechanical component design problems while reviewing numerous examples and working on end--of--chapter problems. With the help of graphical procedures, they'll also gain the skills needed to visualize the solution format, develop added insight about the significance of the results, and determine how the design can be improved.
