Overview


The eighth edition of Shigley?s Mechanical Engineering Design maintains

the basic approach that has made this book the standard in machine design for

over 40 years. It combines the straightforward focus on fundamentals instructors

have come to expect, with a modern emphasis on design and new applications. Key

additions to the eighth edition include a major new case study developed to help

illuminate the complexities of designing a power transmission and a new chapter

on Finite Elements. In addition, the text is complemented by a wealth of

learning resources such as FE Exam problems, machine design tutorials, MATLAB

simulations, and PPTs of important figures. These assets are presented through

McGraw-Hill?s ARIS (Assessment, Review, and Instruction System).
