THIS is an important work on a subject which it is difficult to treat in systematic manner on account of the great complexity of the conditions involved. The variety of machines now made is almost ...

Nothing runs as smooth as a new machine. After time, as components wear, the hum of productivity becomes the whine of a tired collection of loose fitting parts beating out of unison. This condition is ...

An overview of the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its importance in aerospace component design. A look at how FEA software enables aerospace engineers to simulate the results of ...

Simplified machine designs with fewer components run more efficiently and are less expensive to build. Older mechanical power transmission and actuator technologies, such as chain, rack and pinion and ...
