Invaluable to anyone who designs, repairs, or operates machines, this sourcebook contains 2000 illustrations of the most commonly used components found in home appliances, office machines, vehicles, aircraft, ships, construction, factory equipment, and machine tools. The author also includes design formulas and structural data.
Contents:
* Mechanisms
* Machine Elements
* Gearing
* Fluid-Filled Bearing
* Bearings with Rolling Contact
* Packing and Seals
* Pipe, Fitting, and Valves
* Key Equations and Charts for Designing Mechanisms
Review
Choice : Henry Ford claimed to have invented nothing new but simply to have combined the discoveries of others. Similarly, modern designers of complex devices, even those as innovative as the Segway, rely on earlier designers for many of the basic elements in the new device. The trick is to be aware of these earlier designs. Sourcebooks such as Parmley's are a primary source of such information. It is the latest in a line extending at least from Ramelli in the 16th century through Henry T. Brown's 1868 Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements... (many reprint eds.); Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook, comp. by Nicholas P. Chironis (CH, Mar'92); Preben W. Jensen's Classical and Modern Mechanisms for Engineers and Inventors (1991); and Parmley's own more quantitative and analytical Illustrated Sourcebook of Mechanical Components (2000). Here Parmley, a registered professional engineer, reproduces more than Read more...
