Synopsis

The Elementary Principles of Machine Design is a book written by Jacob G. Arnold Meyer in 1897. This book is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental principles of designing machines. It covers a wide range of topics, including the properties of materials, stress and strain, kinematics, dynamics, and the design of machine elements such as gears, bearings, and shafts.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of machine design. The first chapter introduces the basic principles of engineering design, including the importance of safety, efficiency, and economy. The subsequent chapters delve into the details of materials science and mechanics, providing readers with a solid foundation in the principles of stress and strain, elasticity, and plasticity.Other chapters cover the design of specific machine elements, such as gears, bearings, and shafts. The author provides detailed explanations of the design process, including the selection of materials, the calculation of loads and stresses, and the determination of appropriate dimensions and tolerances.Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of practical applications, providing numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the principles of machine design in action. The book also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the concepts being discussed.Overall, The Elementary Principles of Machine Design is an essential resource for engineers, designers, and students who are interested in the principles of machine design. Its clear and concise explanations, practical examples, and comprehensive coverage of the subject make it an invaluable reference for anyone working in the field of mechanical engineering.Embracing The Proportions Of Connecting Rods, Piston Rods, And Pistons For Steam Engines, Cotter Joints, Screw Wrenches, Etc. With Full Instructions For Setting A Plain Slide Valve And Eccentric. Also, Practical And Explanatory Hints For Making All The Necessary Calculations And Working Drawings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

While it is true that there are several very excellent works on machine design before the public, it ic also unfortunately the case that we have no simple and cheap work which begins at the beginning and leads the student on by gradual and easy steps to an acquaintance with the more important departments of the subject. The object of the writer in preparing the present little volume is to supply this want and to furnish a stepping stone, as it were, to the study of more elaborate works. As the best way to impart a clear knowledge of any practical subject is to work out such easy examples as are likely to occur in every-day practice, the author has begun by giving the rules and directions required for the designing and drawing of one of the most common objects of the workshop a screw wrench. Having worked out this easily understood example he then passes on to more intricate and difficult problems, and by degrees leads the young mechanic to the study of the slide valve and the eccentric. Those who desire to carry their studies further in this direction will find ample material in the authors large work entitled, asy Lessons in Mechanical Drawing and Machine Design, arranged forS elf-I nstruction. The very simplest language has been used throughout the volume, and the methods given are not only the most accurate but the simplest in use. In the hope that this little book will lead many young mechanics to the successful study of the higher branches of the profession the author submits it to his fellow mechanics. J. G. A, MEYER.
