About the BookAbout the AuthorTable of Contents

Design of Machine Elements is one of the most important subjects taught to mechanical, production and manufacturing engineering courses across the country. Design of Machine Elements – A First Course is designed to cover the key elements that fall under the subject’s vast purview. It discusses important topics such as power screws, mechanical springs, threaded joints, couplings, keys, splines and different kinds of joints. The book devotes exclusive chapters to elaborate on each of these topics for the student’s benefit. It analyses theoretical concepts and backs them with several solved examples and illustrations, while also providing several end-of-chapter problems for practice.
