A Textbook of Machine Design - In SI Units

A Textbook of Machine Design (S.I. Units)
By R.S. Khurmi and J.K. Gupta

Now in its multicolour edition, this long-standing treatise is a study of the design process as it applies specifically to machines — walking through the full life cycle of engineering design, from identifying a problem and defining it in relatively simple terms, through considering the environment it operates in, to arriving at an optimal solution. The subject matter is amply illustrated with a large number of solved, unsolved, and well-graded examples, most drawn from recent examination papers of Indian and foreign universities as well as professional examining bodies, so students become familiar with how questions are actually framed in their exams. Multicolour pictures have been added throughout to bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice. 

Topics commonly covered include engineering materials and their properties, simple and torsional/bending stresses in machine parts, pressure vessels, riveted and welded joints, screwed joints, cotter and knuckle joints, keys and couplings, shafts, levers, columns and struts, power screws, belt and chain drives, flywheels, springs, clutches, brakes, sliding and rolling contact bearings, and spur, helical, bevel, and worm gears. 

Key features:

• More than 30 chapters covering the full breadth of machine design elements 
• Large bank of solved and unsolved graded examples pulled from real university and professional exam papers
• Multicolour illustrations bridging theoretical design and practical application
• Recommended for students preparing for UPSC Engineering Services and AMIE (India) examinations 
• Long-established as a standard treatise across successive editions and reprints, both in India and abroad

Perfect for:

• B.Tech, B.E., and other professional engineering course students studying machine design 
• Candidates preparing for UPSC Engineering Services and AMIE examinations 
• Mechanical engineering students needing a comprehensive single-volume design reference
• Faculty teaching machine design or mechanical element design courses
