Valued as a standard in the course, Juvinall’s Fundamentals of Machine Component Design continues to focus on the fundamentals of component design - free body diagrams, force flow concepts, failure theories, and fatigue design, with applications to fasteners, springs, bearings, gears, clutches, and brakes. Problem-solving skills are developed by the implementation of a proven methodology which provides a structure for accurately formulating problems and clearly presenting solutions. This edition includes additional coverage of composites, the material selection process, and wear/wear theory, along with new and updated examples and homework problems.

NEW TO THIS EDITION
• New and revised end of chapter problems and worked examples throughout the book
• Modern/current issues and safety considerations- New homework problems outline real world safety issues adapted from actual case studies. Homework questions which help the student research, outline, and write on issues which confront the modern engineer are scattered throughout the text.
• Composites- A new section is presented to introduce composite materials and their properties to the student. New references provide the student with a foundation of information regarding composite materials.
• Engineering material selection process- Ashby's material selection charts are reviewed and discussed and are available as an aid to students in learning more about engineering materials. New topics MIL-HDBK-5J and MIL-HDBK-17are introduced which aid the student in selection and use of common engineering materials.
• Web site addresses and problems- Web site addresses are given throughout the text to provide the student with access to additional information on topics including industrial standards, part selection, and properties of materials. Problems appear at the end of the chapter that require the student to utilize the internet in solving various machine component design problems.
• Three-dimensional stress- A new sample problem gives the student a powerful tool to analyze complex stress states, and new related homework problems give opportunity for the student to polish analysis skills.
• Wear and wear theory- Additional text on discretization wear theory outlines the use of wear models for machine parts. Associated homework problems introduce the student to the unique test apparatus used to determine wear coefficients.
• Shaft critical speeds- Expanded with additional solution methods and theory discussion including explanation of both Rayleigh's and Dunkerley's equations. New and revised homework problems accompany this section to challenge the student regarding these ideas.
• Appendix- Contributed appendixes have been added for using reference MIL-HDBK-5J, vectorial solution methods, normal distributions, fatigue cycle formulas, and gear terminology.
