Exploring the Fundamentals of Machine Design: Similar Books and Resources

In summary, the conversation discusses the search for books similar to P.Orlov's "Fundamentals of machine design 1,2 and 3." The books should include pictures of design flaws and better solutions. The topic of improving reliability and reducing cost in engineering is also mentioned. The conversation also mentions difficulties in finding an ebook version of Volume 4 and asks for links to the volumes for others.

Hi. I have a problem and I will be so grateful if someone can help me with this.

I would like to know are there books that are similar to P.Orlov: Fundamentals of machine design 1,2 and 3. The book should include pictures of what is wrong and better solution of certain design.
Thank you in advance.

Welcome to PF.
Improving reliability while reducing the weight and the cost of manufacture are common themes in engineering. Orlov presented an excellent approach to design through step-wise refinement.
There are some similar books but they are about narrower subjects, so you will need to specify your special areas of interest.

I assume you have copies of Orlov from the MIR book site, if I remember correctly, via archive.com.
I have the four bound volumes of the English translation, and ebook copies of the first three, but could find no ebook of Volume_4.pdf.
Archive.com is down at the moment. Do you have any links to the volumes for others ?
