Book: Standard Handbook of Machine Design
ISBN: 9780071441643
Publisher: McGraw-Hill
Year: 2004
The definitive machine design handbook for mechanical engineers, product designers, project engineers, design engineers, and manufacturing engineers covers every aspect of machine construction and operation. The 3rd edition of the Standard Handbook of Machine Design will be redesigned to meet the challenges of a new mechanical engineering age. In addition to adding chapters on structural plastics and adhesives, which are replacing the old nuts bolts and fasteners in design, the author will also update and streamline the remaining chapters.
Most likely you have, right at this moment, at least one machine design project in progress. Maybe you were the originator of the design, but I suspect you inherited this design from others. I further suspect that you have already identified elements of the design you feel could be improved. You might be under pressure from customer service or marketing to respond to some need for change. In responding successfully, either to your own observations for change or to those of others, the design will evolve. Recognizing that the evolutionary design process is decidedly complex, with a seemingly random sequence of steps, the primary purpose of Standard Handbook of Machine Design is to make the information you need as readily accessible and usable as possible.
As an example of how a design can evolve, and to provide perspective on how the information in this Handbook has traditionally been used, let me review for you a project I was given in my first job as a mechanical engineer. It involved the positioning of a microwave feed horn for a 30-ft-diameter antenna dish.The original design (not mine, by the way) called for a technician to climb up onto a platform, some 20 ft off the ground, near the backside of the feed horn.The technician had to loosen a half dozen bolts, rotate the feed horn manually, and then retighten the bolts. This design worked quite well until several systems were sold to a customer providing telecommunications along the Alaskan oil pipeline. Workers were not really safe going out in below 0°F weather,with snow and ice on everything. As a result of their concerns for safety, this customer asked that we provide remote positioning of the feed horn from the nearby control room.
