Publisher's Synopsis
Overview
The eighth edition ofShigley's Mechanical Engineering Designmaintains
the basic approach that has made this book the standard in machine design for
over 40 years. It combines the straightforward focus on fundamentals instructors
have come to expect, with a modern emphasis on design and new applications. Key
additions to the eighth edition include a major new case study developed to help
illuminate the complexities of designing a power transmission and a new chapter
on Finite Elements. In addition, the text is complemented by a wealth of
learning resources such as FE Exam problems, machine design tutorials, MATLAB
simulations, and PPTs of important figures. These assets are presented through
McGraw-Hill's ARIS (Assessment, Review, and Instruction System).
