The modern machine deserves to be considered as a living thing. Adopting this unique perspective, Machine Elements: Life and Design presents a detailed description of the functioning of machine elements and their changing conditions, giving the novice engineer a basic idea about the life of a machine. This book seeks to form a sympathetic attitude toward the machine as well as to ensure its wellbeing by more careful and proper design. The first section is devoted to microscopic deformations and displacements in permanent connections and within the bodies of stressed parts; the second section discusses elements and units of machines; and the third section addresses strength calculations and the life prediction of machine parts.

This book assists design engineers in making the design trade-offs and the necessary decisions in the various stages of the design in a wide range of engineering applications. It covers mechanisms of rotational motion; variable speed drives; mechanisms of cyclic motion; lubrication systems; and components of mechanisms. The book provides extensive reference information, while stressing the role of the design engineer throughout, as well as the design trade-offs to be made in practical engineering scenarios.

Focusing on how a machine 'feels' and behaves while operating, this book intends to impart both intellectual and emotional comprehension regarding the 'life' of a machine. It presents a description of how machines elements function, seeking to form a sympathetic attitude toward the machine and to ensure its wellbeing through more careful design.
