Publisher's Synopsis
The Elementary Principles of Machine Design is a book written by Jacob G. Arnold Meyer in 1897. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of machine design, covering the basic concepts and theories that are essential for designing machines. It provides a detailed explanation of the fundamental principles of mechanics, materials, and manufacturing processes that are used in the design and construction of machines. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific topic related to machine design. It begins with an introduction to the basic principles of mechanics, including force, motion, and energy. It then moves on to discuss the properties of materials, such as strength, toughness, and elasticity, and how these properties affect machine design. The book also covers manufacturing processes, such as casting, forging, and machining, and how these processes are used to create machine components. The final chapters of the book focus on specific types of machines, such as gears, bearings, and engines, and provide detailed information on their design and construction. Overall, The Elementary Principles of Machine Design is an essential reference for anyone involved in the design and construction of machines, providing a solid foundation in the principles and theories that underlie this important field.Embracing The Proportions Of Connecting Rods, Piston Rods, And Pistons For Steam Engines, Cotter Joints, Screw Wrenches, Etc.
