Machine Element Design: Resources & Lecture Notes

AI Thread Summary
Resources for machine element design, including topics like static failure, fatigue theory, and spur gears, are sought after due to the complexity of the subject. Users recommend exploring online materials and lecture notes, although free options are limited. A specific book on Amazon is suggested as a potentially valuable resource, despite not being free. The discussion highlights the challenge of finding comprehensive educational materials in this field. Overall, there is a clear need for accessible information on machine design principles.

Hello, I am looking for a good source of information about design of machines (static failure, fatigue theory, design of shafts and keys, spur gears, etc..). Maybe some free online material or lecture notes? It seems like a fairly difficult course but I could find very few information so far.

Thanks in advance!

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
