Manufacturing Considerations | | II | Failure Theories | 4. Static Failure Theories (Max. normal/shear stress, distortion energy) 5. Variable & Fatigue Failure (S-N curve, endurance limit, Gerber, Goodman, Soderberg) | | III | Joints & Fasteners | 6. Threaded Joints (preload, tightening torque) 7. Welded Joints 8. Riveted Joints | | IV | Mechanical Springs | 9. Helical & Leaf Springs (design for static/fatigue, surging) | | V | Shafts, Couplings & Keys | 10. Shaft Design (ASME code) 11. Keys & Couplings | | VI | Power Screws & Clutches | 12. Power Screws (efficiency, self-locking) 13. Clutches & Brakes | | VII | Bearings | 14. Sliding Contact Bearings (Raimondi-Boyd method) 15. Rolling Contact Bearings (L10 life, selection from catalogs) | | VIII | Gears & Gearboxes | 16. Spur Gears (Lewis equation, AGMA/IS standards) 17. Helical, Bevel & Worm Gears 18. Gearbox Design (Ray diagrams, structural formula) | | IX | Miscellaneous | 19. Internal Combustion Engine Parts (piston, connecting rod) 20. Flywheels & Belts/Ropes/Chains |

Every chapter ends with a robust set of problems categorized by difficulty. The solved examples are particularly valuable because they often bridge the gap between textbook theory and competitive exams (like GATE or ESE). bhandari design of machine elements
