Design Engineer's Handbook - Keith L. (Consulting Engineer Richards - Bog

This handbook covers basic subjects that mechanical engineers will meet in their careers as well as the analysis of important machine elements, including shafts, lugs, and shear pins together with mechanical fasteners such as bolts. Emphasizing the use of hand calculations rather than dedicated software enables engineers and engineering students to understand the reasoning behind a particular approach, so that a solution can be readily obtained in the absence of a computer. The chapters cover the general problems that engineers encounter during their work¿similar to the problems the writer had to solve in his early career¿and provide detailed solutions to such problems.
