Machine Design Data Handbook is meant for Mechanical, Production and Industrial Engineering branches. The book contains data in the form of equations, tables and graphs. The first chapter deals with the basic equations derived in mechanics of materials and helps in determining stresses in machine elements under various loading situations. The second chapter contains data of mechanical properties of various engineering materials used for the machine elements. The third chapter deals with the various theories used for predicting failures under the static and fluctuating loads. It also deals with the methods used for estimating the life to failure under variable loadings.
