Materials — When complicated geometry proves more trouble than it’s worth, the deceptively simple function of transmitting torque can be improved by even small changes in chemical makeup. The core ...

Factors influencing the proportioning of machine elements: stresses, deformations, and failure criteria as applied to shafts, springs, belts, bearings, gears. Design of Elements is a required course ...

Because shafts provide the inner raceways for all linear bearings, theirs is often lumped into bearing design as an afterthought. But bearing raceway sections on shafts are very critical because some ...
