Moving Mechanical structures: stress, wear, temperature....

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a textbook that addresses the stresses, deformation, wear, and temperature changes in moving mechanical structures, specifically linkage mechanisms and engines. Participants highlight that "Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design" is a valuable resource that covers many relevant topics. The focus is on applying broad concepts like stress and friction to specific mechanical examples, emphasizing the importance of practical applications in understanding these phenomena.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mechanical engineering principles
  • Familiarity with stress analysis in mechanical structures
  • Knowledge of friction and wear mechanisms
  • Basic concepts of thermodynamics related to temperature changes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design" for detailed coverage of mechanical stresses
  • Explore textbooks on "Mechanical Behavior of Materials" for insights on deformation and wear
  • Investigate "Engineering Tribology" for in-depth understanding of friction in moving parts
  • Study "Thermal Analysis of Mechanical Systems" to learn about temperature distribution in mechanisms
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, students in mechanical engineering programs, and professionals involved in the design and analysis of moving mechanical structures will benefit from this discussion.

Hi!
I am looking for a textbook that explains/describes for moving mechanical structures (such as linkage mechanism, engines, ... and not buildings, bridges, ...) the stresses, deformation, wear, temperature change, ... due to operating.
E.g. Linkage mechanism: what are/defines the stresses, deformations, temperature distribution, friction, ...

I know that the concepts of stress, wear, friction, ... are very broad, but I am looking for a book that applies it to specific examples.

Does anyone knows good books about this subject?

Shigleys mechanical engineering design covers quite a few of those topics
