This book is about mechanical design engineering, in particular design for mechanical system durability and performance density. It explains mechanical design issues in application areas such as multi-megawatt fluid power transmission, and provides potential solutions. Design for Durability and Performance Density includes five real-world case studies which help to identify the root cause of problems and failure cases encountered in industry and in the oil field. It suggests remedies for the ones that could be solved, and includes sample calculations and worked examples to quantify the extent of problems where necessary. This book will be of use to mechanical engineering students, as well as design and application engineers helping them to learn how things could be designed the wrong way, and how old experience could prevent novice mistakes, to avoid being tempted into any of the various subtle design pitfalls and confronting their consequences.
