Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design
Mechanical design and industrial standards
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. This textbook maintains the well-designed approach that has made this book the standard in machine design for nearly 50 years.

What’s New in the 2024 Edition
Fatigue Failure from Variable Loading: Chapter 6 has been completely updated, with clearer explanations of underlying mechanics and a streamlined approach to the stress-life method, incorporating recent research. New context is provided for the strain-life and fracture mechanics methods to enhance understanding.
Materials and Deformation: Chapter 2 now includes expanded coverage of plastic deformation, strain-hardening, true stress, and cyclic stress-strain properties, strengthening the foundation for the fatigue failure discussions in Chapter 6.
Lubrication and Journal Bearings: Chapter 12 has been improved with a new section on dynamically loaded journal bearings, including examples and problems related to automotive applications, particularly big-end connecting rod bearings.
End-of-Chapter Problems: Approximately 100 new problems have been added, providing greater variety and a stronger foundation for first-time exposure to key topics, further supported by parameterized problems available through McGraw-Hill Connect Engineering.
