Hallmark Features
|
- Comprehensive coverage of failure modes includes development of equations to help determine when failure is predicted to occur.
- Presents step by step procedures for selecting appropriate materials for specific design applications. Includes instructions for using rank-ordered Data tables and Ashby charts to select proper materials.
- Offers unique coverage on creating efficient shapes and appropriate sizes.
- Over 100 worked examples are integrated throughout the text, including many that are presented from a design perspective.
- Reflecting the comprehensive description treatment in the text, each components chapter (Part II) includes sections on uses and characteristics", "probable failure modes", and "typical materials".
- Based on up-to-date versions of applicable codes and standards.
- Companion Web Site (www.wiley.com/college/collins) presents over 100 variations and extensions of worked examples in the text, which allow you to consider more complex design scenarios through computer assisted solutions. Created by H. Busby and G. Staab both of The Ohio State University.
- Real-world examples, anecdotes, and observations throughout the text demonstrate the importance of making good design decisions to the prevention of mechanical failure.
