About the Book

This 10th Edition of Shigley's is meticulously updated to maintain its position as the definitive mechanical engineering reference. It covers the entire design process—from initial concepts and materials selection to the analysis of stress, strain, and failure. The text is celebrated for its clarity in explaining complex machine elements such as gears, bearings, shafts, fasteners, and springs. Published by McGraw-Hill, this edition integrates modern computational tools and FEA concepts, ensuring it remains relevant for today's digital engineering environment.

What You’ll Learn / Why Read

Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design teaches you the art and science of preventing mechanical failure. You will gain a deep understanding of static and fatigue failure theories, learning how to design components that are both safe and efficient. The book provides detailed "how-to" guidance on calculating factor of safety, endurance limits, and the life of rolling-element bearings. Furthermore, the 10th edition includes an extensive collection of appendices with material properties and design tables, serving as an all-in-one reference for the FE and PE exams.
