Rating: 4
Summary: Good book for Machine Design Engineers
Comment: It's not a complete guide but relatively comprehensive. I used this book in my undergrad studies and continue to use it on a monthly basis ten years later. My first copy suffered from binding failure (as noted by another reviewer) and was replaced by my employer.
It may not be a good text for self-teaching but it is a fine reference later in your engineering career. Both the authors are well respected and the methods are classical yet readily accepted as "good engineering practice."
Rating: 3
Summary: Good but hardly comprehensive.
Comment: This book is good at first glance, being accessible and reasonably well indexed. The problem is that it lacks the thoroughness required of a good reference. There is only limited information on the most basic methods and means. It lacks simple things like how to design pinions which mesh with multiple gears, or gears that run under a variety of conditions in normal operations. This fault runs throughout the book, making it almost useless for the slightly obscure applications seen in anything innovative.
Rating: 1
Summary: This is not for study...... maybe good reference
Comment: This book has a lot of tables and formulae which can be applied directly to specific engineering design problems, but I have not ever learned mechanical engineering design subject. I need comprehensible and easily viewable explanations and figures to understand the basic concepts. Information in this book looks just a sequence of data with not well-organized instruction.
I can not recommend this book to anyone who doesn't have a background in this subject unless you are forced to use to prepare for the Ph.D. qualifying exam based on this book, for example...
