Mechanical Design Second edition by Peter Childs. The overall aims of this book are to introduce the subject of total design and the design and selection of various common mechanical engineering components and machine elements. These provide building blocks’ with which the designer and engineer can practice their art. This book is principally a Year/Level 1 and 2 undergraduate texts. Prerequisite skills include some year 1 undergraduate mathematics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, principles of materials, statics, and dynamics.
