Recommend Mechanical Engineering Design Books
(OP)
Dear Experts,
I wish to buy a good engineering design book for use as reference.
Currently my workplace has the following:
• Machine Design: An integrated approach by Norton.
• Mechanical Engineering Design by Joseph Shigley.
• 27th Edition of Machinery's Handbook.
• Mechanics of Materials by Hidgon and a few others
My favourite is Machine Design by Norton. Does anyone recommend a similar book that's on a par with this one? I don't really want to buy a book I already have access to.
Topics I look for are
Design for Static strength, fatigue strength, stress analysis, deflection and stiffness, design of mechanical elements like couplings, gears, bearings etc etc.
I'm looking for a general all round type of book and with an interactive CD would be cool
Any information will be appreciated.
Best Regards
Eddie

Both have a different "feel" than Shigley's book, so they likely would be complimentary, with reasonable overlap but not complete redundancy.

(my first copy fell apart I'd used it so much)
Roarks formulas for stress and strain
two books by JE Gordon are worth a read
Structures and the New Science of strong materials

but the internet is your best friend

Machine Elements in Mechanical Design, Robert L Mott
I used this alot covers a lot of things, I think shigley is better but i think sometimes having a simpler explanation in areas it makes it easier to understand and find more info later.
Good luck.

• Mechanical Engineering Design by Joseph Shigley."
Those 2 are very comparable.
The latter uses more vectoral notation.

"Machinery Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting" ISBN 0-87201-232-8
"Pump User's Handbook-Life Extension" ISBN 0-8247-4814-X
I like Shigley and Mischke's "Mechanical Engineering Design" for a good review of design principles. Granted, I am not a design engineer but rather an industrial process support engineer with a background in the maintenance of mechanical equipment and system reliability. Best of luck on your studies and future career path.
