Product Description
Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design is intended for students beginning the study of mechanical engineering design. Students will find that the text inherently directs them into familiarity with both the basics of design decisions and the standards of industrial components. It combines the straightforward focus on fundamentals that instructors have come to expect, with a modern emphasis on design and new applications.
The ninth edition of Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design maintains the approach that has made this book the standard in machine design for nearly 50 years.

Mcgraw Hill Reading : Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering) Reviews
This review is from: Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering) (Hardcover)
This book is good, but there are a number of problems that I have with it. First, the writing within the text is sometimes too dense, technical and not straight forward enough for the undergraduate engineering student, making it hard to read. Second, there are not enough footnotes and/or annotations for students to make connections between the different equations, which, in fact, do relate to each other. Last, there is the problem with application of gear design to CAD programs, which renders the chapter on gear design useless to the student. In short, this class is all about who is teaching from the text and not the text because of the flaws mentioned above.
However, the book does have concrete, clear examples of the application of properties and equations in the text.

This book is used for me for two different semesters. One for Solid Mechanics and one for Machine Design. The book it decent but it is no book by Hibbler. Some of the units in this book looked like it was wrote by two different people in two different countries.

One of the worst books I ever had to use. Txt is poorly organized and many end of chapter txt questions can not be answered with what you learn from the book.
