suggestions for a practical machine design book
(OP)
i've seen many machine design books, they are helpful for calculation and selection of standard mechanical components used in machine design, but only for the problems stated inside the book. because they are not Design problems, they are Analysis problems. they lack best best practices from a practical point of view.for example how to fasten a gear or a bearing in it's place effectively if diameter of their shaft is slightly less than what you expect. best practices for selecting fastening components and choosing one over another. any suggestions for a book covering practical machine design?





RE: suggestions for a practical machine design book
I'd be fairly certain that mechanical design is similar, which is why there is so much enphasis on analysis. Creation of a new, whole-cloth, designs would entail brand-new analyses, which requires calibration or correlation and proofing, so who has that much time on their hands? If you can make a modification of an existing design work well, why would you come up with something totally new?

RE: suggestions for a practical machine design book
I suggest that what you are seeking is something along the lines of Audel's Millwright's series of books. Google "Millwright books" and you'll find all kinds of interesting things mechanical. Also, in addition to the wonderfully old-school Omer Blodgett's weldment design book mentioned above, perhaps you may find SME's Fixture & Jig Design book interesting. Then there is always one of my favorites, Machinery's Handbook. Get the big version & save your eyes.

Analysis and Design of Mechanisms, Deane Lent

Needless to say, both are way out of print...
But, both are available as used books:

"Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements", by Henry T. Brown, first published in 1868 (most recent reprinting, 1995). Now while it's true that this book predates a lot of elements which we see and use in machines today, the basic kinematic concepts have not changed and in many situations where high-precision and high-speed is critical, a good solid mechanical solution often proves to be the best option.
And while the original text may date back nearly 150 years, you can now get it in 'ebook' format (something I'll bet old Hank never dreamed of):

Illustrated sourcebook of mechanical components is an interesting collection of mechanical solutions.

RE: suggestions for a practical machine design book
I recommend
'Mechanism", Beggs,McGraw-Hill,1955
which is both theoretical and practical with a very nice appendix titled "A repertory of Mechanism" without the math.
RE: suggestions for a practical machine design book
Shigley's "Mechanical Engineering Design"
"Machinery's Handbook"
"Mark's Handbook"
Also,
"Peterson's Stress Concentration Factors"
"Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain"
Bickman's "An Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted Jonits"
Blodgett's "Design of Welded Structures" (get it from Lincoln Electric; Amazon is a rip-off)
Harris' "Essential Concepts in Bearing Technology"
Incropera's "Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer"
Sonntag's "Fundamentals of Thermodynamics"
Munson's "Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics"
Crane's "Crane Technical Publication 410" (my next purchase)
Irwin's "Introduction to Electrical Engineering" (I don't use it much, but it's proved handy)
Manufacturers also tend to have good information in their catalogs, for example Boston Gear and Timken. With those books (and possibly some controls and aerodynamics references) you should be able to design your own space shuttle.

As engineers, the forum is discusses problem related analytical solutions, not best practice as conducted by machinist, mill wrights or maintenance personnel. There is a huge difference, this is not the forum for "best practice".
