With a focus on the Italian School of machine design as founded by R. Giovannozzi of Turin Polytechnic, this book provides a complete picture of the necessary components of design, along with the necessary instruments for implementation. It also explains the method of the compact modeling analysis of the mechanical problem. The book provides details from simple fundamentals, to explanation of the design of traditional mechanical components. Topics covered include the methodological statement of engineering, properties of engineering materials, and the design of mechanical components and systems. Case studies are included for the different themes.
