xixiv PREFACE
with the most traditional mechanical engineering courses such as Machine Design
(or Design of Machine Elements) came rather late. The purpose of this textbook
is exactly the introduction of computer methodology in the design of machines and
machine elements.
The need to rewrite such a classical subject from the new point of view created
the opportunity for a fresh look at the presentation of the subject.
All over the world, machine design textbooks have presented the material with
component orientation, such as bolts, shafts, bearings, and gears, following the
structure of the classical Reuleaux text of 1854. However, with the vast number of
different elements of machines now available, such presentations are in any case
incomplete. This has led the author to try a unifying approach, dividing the material
from the point of view of design methodology rather than element function, to the
extent possible. Therefore, the material is presented as, for example, design for
strength. The student has the opportunity to observe the common features of de-
signing different elements with the same methods and with the same considerations.
The aim is to guide the student through the design methodology rather than merely
to teach how to design particular machine elements.
Emphasis is given to subjects more particular to computer application. It was
natural also to emphasize design methods that are particularly suitable for computer
implementation. However, since learning in depth is achieved through full student
involvement in the design process, the book does not rely exclusively on computers
but first presents the methodology for longhand calculated solutions of machine
design problems in the tradition of Reuleaux and the newer texts by Niemann and
Shigley.
The text is supplemented by appropriate software and spreadsheet solutions and
templates. The spreadsheets listed are not intended to substitute for design calcu-
lations nor to be a complete design system, although they cover a wide range of
machine design applications. They have a dual purpose:
1. To serve as a guide and a base for the development of design applications
by the student. Most of them can be modified and extended for particular
applications.
2. To form the basis for design automation, since most solid modelers, such as
SOLID EDGE, UNIGRAPHICS, and PRO ENGINEER, accept spreadsheet
inputs for basic dimensioning. This can lead towards complete design auto-
mation. The latter is left to the individual instructor because it depends on
the software available
Most of the chapters of this book are self-contained. Therefore, the text can be
used flexibly manner to meet specific requirements.
Every chapter concludes with a selected list of references, not as a general
bibliography on the subject but for referencing purposes and as a guide for further
reading.
This text was intended to be timely and teachable and to lead the student to
become acquainted with modern machine design and computer methods in machine
design and, furthermore, to develop skills for applying contemporary CAMD meth-
odology in practice.
