Overview

Machine Design Using the Mechanical Design Toolbox provides students with a brief and accessible introduction to key concepts related to machine design, as well as practical exercises that teach them how to effectively use the Mechanical Design Toolbox (MDT). The MDT allows students to conduct both design analysis and synthesis of a machine component in an interactive fashion. This unique approach emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving rather than focusing on complex computations that can hamper student learning. Each chapter presents essential underlying mechanical principles associated with machine components. Students review design examples and are challenged to solve a series of problems both by hand and using the MDT, providing them with the opportunity to become familiar with the functionality of the toolbox. Dedicated chapters explore 2D and 3D stress analysis using Mohr's circle diagrams, various stress analysis tools, static and fatigue failure theories, shafts, fasteners, springs, belt drives, gears, bearings, and more. The final chapter provides three design projects that challenge students to apply what they've learned and test their knowledge in integrating designs of various machine components within the context of a mechanical system. Embracing contemporary pedagogy and technology, Machine Design Using the Mechanical Design Toolbox is an ideal resource for courses in mechanical engineering and machine design.
