Singh Ajeet. Fundamentals of Machine Design. Volume 2

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017. — 842 p. — ISBN10: 1316630412, ISBN13: 978-1316630419.Written in a user-friendly manner, the text provides detailed discussions on design principles of belts, pulleys, ropes, chain drives and gear boxes. The text being a follow-up to the first volume, discusses properties, types, advantages and selection aspects of belt drives, flat belt pulleys, grooved pulleys and rope drives. It then explains construction aspects, classification, properties and the design procedure of important bearings including hydrodynamic and rolling bearings. It goes on to discuss several types of I.C. engine parts including cylinder, piston, connecting rod, crank shaft, valve gears, flywheels, clutches and brakes. Advantages and applications of worm and worm wheel drives and pressure vessels are also included.Machine design is part of the broader discipline of Engineering Design. Fundamentals of Machine Design is compiled in two volumes. Vol. II is a follow-up to the first volume. Unit 1 of this volume begins by discussing fundamental concepts, types and applications of belt drives, pulleys, rope drives, chain and sprocket drive, spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, worm gears and gear trains using simple and epicyclic gears in detail. Unit 2 discusses construction aspects, classification, material required, design procedures and selection parameters for hydrodynamic and rolling bearings. The design steps are discussed comprehensively, which helps students and teachers in practical classes. Unit 3 discusses different types and construction processes of important parts of an internal combustion engine including cylinder, piston, connecting rod, crank shaft and valve gears. The final unit 4 comprehensively discusses the design procedure, types and construction of flywheels, clutches, brakes and pressure vessels. Pedagogical features in the book include solved examples, unsolved exercises, design problems and review questions. The text is primarily a follow-up introductory course on machine design, meant for undergraduate students of mechanical engineering. It is accompanied with teaching resources including a solutions manual for instructors.Belts and Pulleys
