ABOUT THE BOOK

Design of Machine Elements by C.S. Sharma and Kamlesh Purohit is a comprehensive, core engineering textbook engineered for undergraduate students in Mechanical, Production, and Automobile Engineering. The primary focus of this text centers on the fundamental principles of mechanical design, stress analysis, failure theories, and the step-by-step sizing and selection of essential machine components. Designed around Indian university curricula (such as GATE, AICTE, and state technical universities), the book bridges theoretical mechanics of materials with practical engineering application. It thoroughly covers essential design topics—including design against static and fluctuating loads, pressure vessels, shafts, keys, couplings, riveted and welded joints, threaded fasteners, power screws, mechanical springs, belt and chain drives, gears (spur, helical, bevel, worm), bearings (sliding and rolling contact), and clutches/brakes. Rich in solved numerical problems, design data tables, and step-by-step procedural workflows, it prepares engineering students to solve real-world mechanical design challenges.
