Machine Design Using Mechanical Design Toolbox First Edition

Machine Design Using Mechanical Design Toolbox (First Edition)

A First Course in Control System Design

Control systems are pervasive in our lives. Our homes have environmental controls. The appliances we use, such as the washing machine, microwave, etc. carry embedded controllers in them. We fly in airplanes and drive automobiles that extensively use control systems. The industrial plants that produce consumer goods run on process control systems. The recent drive toward automation has increased our reliance on control systems technology.This book discusses control systems design from a model-based perspective for dynamic system models of single-input single-output type. The emphasis in this book is on understanding and applying the techniques that enable the design of effective control systems in multiple engineering disciplines. The book covers both time-domain and the frequency-domain design methods, as well as controller design for both continuous-time and discrete-time systems. MATLAB© and its Control Systems Toolbox are extensively used for design.

Fundamentals of Machine Elements, Third Edition

New and Improved SI Edition—Uses SI Units Exclusively in the Text Adapting to the changing nature of the engineering profession, this third edition of Fundamentals of Machine Elements aggressively delves into the fundamentals and design of machine elements with an SI version. This latest edition includes a plethora of pedagogy, providing a greater understanding of theory and design. Significantly Enhanced and Fully Illustrated The material has been organized to aid students of all levels in design synthesis and analysis approaches, to provide guidance through design procedures for synthesis issues, and to expose readers to a wide variety of machine elements. Each chapter contains a quote and photograph related to the chapter as well as case studies, examples, design procedures, an abstract, list of symbols and subscripts, recommended readings, a summary of equations, and end-of-chapter problems. What’s New in the Third Edition: Covers life cycle engineering Provides a description of the hardness and common hardness tests Offers an inclusion of flat groove stress concentration factors Adds the staircase method for determining endurance limits and includes Haigh diagrams to show the effects of mean stress Discusses typical surface finishes in machine elements and manufacturing processes used to produce them Presents a new treatment of spline, pin, and retaining ring design, and a new section on the design of shaft couplings Reflects the latest International Standards Organization standards Simplifies the geometry factors for bevel gears Includes a design synthesis approach for worm gears Expands the discussion of fasteners and welds Discusses the importance of the heat affected zone for weld quality Describes the classes of welds and their analysis methods Considers gas springs and wave springs Contains the latest standards and manufacturer’s recommendations on belt design, chains, and wire ropes The text also expands the appendices to include a wide variety of material properties, geometry factors for fracture analysis, and new summaries of beam deflection.
