Features: This book is written based on the fundamental requirements for teaching Mechanical Design Fundamentals, approved by the Teaching Guidance Committee of Mechanical Foundation Courses of the Ministry of Education. The book is divided into thirteen chapters, covering the content of Mechanical Principles and Mechanical Design, such as various mechanisms like planar linkages, cams, and screws, as well as various transmissions like belts, chains, gears, and worm gears. It also includes components such as bearings, couplings, reducers, clutches, and mechanical stepless speed reducers, primarily introducing their types, structural principles, working characteristics, stress analysis, and design calculations. Additionally, based on disciplinary requirements, modern design theory and innovative design-related content have been incorporated to enrich the course material. The book emphasizes engineering applications rather than theoretical analysis, avoids complex chemical formula derivations, and presents content that is concise and easy to understand. The charts, data, and figures are accurate and practical, with a certain number of exercises provided at the end of each chapter. It is suitable as a textbook for non-mechanical majors in higher education institutions and also convenient for self-study reference. The book adopts the International System of Units and the latest national standards. Due to the wide range of non-mechanical disciplines and varying requirements among them, the book reflects its general applicability while also considering the selection of content, examples, and exercises to accommodate the needs of different disciplines as much as possible. The content is designed for a 60-hour course, and to facilitate teaching, some national standards and specifications have been excerpted. When used, it can be selectively adopted and adjusted according to professional requirements and teaching hours. If necessary, additional materials can also be supplemented for teaching purposes. This book can serve as a textbook for near-mechanical and non-mechanical majors and is also a valuable reference for a broad range of engineering professionals.
