Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design

The second, expanded and revised edition of Shigley’s Design of Machine Components responds to the considerable interest shown by the professional community in the first Czech edition of this book, published in 2010. Readers are presented with a unique work that integrates knowledge from engineering mechanics and materials science in an innovative way, offering a comprehensive overview of the methodology for designing basic machine components such as mechanical joints, energy storage devices, bearings, shaft couplings, gearboxes, brakes and flywheels. This book is not only an exceptionally well-developed textbook on machine design, intended for students of mechanical engineering faculties at universities, but also a useful and valuable aid for everyday engineering practice. Its content covers not only the entire course in machine design, but also courses in statics, elasticity and strength of materials. In addition to clear explanations, the book contains more than 160 solved examples and case studies based on real-world design problems, which effectively illustrate the topics of each chapter. Nearly 1,000 exercises to solve then enable a thorough understanding of the material covered.
