*Features* Cover Type: Hard Cover with 832 pages Published by: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Edition: 1st Edition April 11, 2003 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 007242155X ISBN 13 Number: 978-0072421552 Book Dimensions: 9.3 x 8.2 x 1.5 inches Weighs: 3.4 pounds Product Description Ugural's Mechanical Design: An Integrated Approach provides a comprehensive, unified approach to the subject of machine element design for Mechanical Engineering students and practicing engineers. The author's expertise in engineering mechanics is demonstrated in Part I (Fundamentals), where readers are given an exceptionally strong treatment of the design process, stress & strain, deflection & stiffness, energy methods, and failure/fatigue criteria. Advanced topics in mechanics (marked with an asterisk in the Table of Contents) are provided for optional use. The first 8 chapters provide the conceptual basis for Part II (Applications), where the major classes of machine components are covered. Optional coverage of finite element analysis is included, in the final chapter of the text, with selected examples and cases showing FEA applications in mechanical design. In addition to numerous worked-out examples and chapter problems, detailed Case Studies are included to show the intricacies of real design work, and the integration of engineering mechanics concepts with actual design procedures. The author provides a brief but comprehensive listing of derivations for users to avoid the "cookbook" approach many books take. Numerous illustrations provide a visual interpretation of the equations used, making the text appropriate for diverse learning styles. The approach is designed to allow for use of calculators and computers throughout, and to show the ways computer analysis can be used to model problems and explore "what if?" design analysis scenarios. An Online Learning Center website provides a wealth of resources for instructors, students and other readers; and a printed Instructor Solutions Manual is also available. *Reader Reviews* This book has its ups and downs, as you might expect from a first edition. Since most people probably won't read this entire review, I'll state the Cons first because they are the least obvious. This book has a lot of mistakes. Not just in grammar, but in its example problems as well. I think it's great when I can open a text book and learn the material from the example problems. However, when the solutions to these problems are incorrect, they are not helpful at all. I found this very frustrating (along with the rest of my class), but luckily my professor cleared up most of the confusion. They also do not use units, so it can be confusing trying to follow the example. Back To Top
