Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design

Description

Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design is intended for students beginning the study of mechanical engineering design. Students will find that the text inherently directs them into familiarity with both the basics of design decisions and the standards of industrial components. It combines the straightforward focus on fundamentals that instructors have come to expect, with a modern emphasis on design and new applications. This edition maintains the well-designed approach that has made this book the standard in machine design for nearly 50 years. McGraw-Hill's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty. Review: The best made better still - There are many general Engineering Handbooks; Marks' is the best. This is slightly different. I've never found any other book that quite fills the niche Shigley did in the various editions of his work which led to this. it covers most of the technical material you need to actually do good mechanical engineering design. Gears, mechanism, strength of design, etc. There are better books on each individual subject, but no others I've seen that bring it all together into useful processes. This bulks out Shigley's earlier work with new and in some cases more detailed material. Worthy of a place on any Designer's desk. Review: Non è la versione che avevo ordinato! - Non è la versione che avevo ordinato! Ho atteso a lungo per la consegna dell'ordine perché volevo quella edizione, ma invano. Il contenuto è simile, ma le pagine sono in bianco e nero (e non a colori come nell'edizione ordinata!), come se si trattasse di un libro fotocopiato e rilegato. Non mi metto a restituirlo però non si fa così....
