Features: This book is based on the teaching practice reform of vocational colleges for mechanical or near-mechanical disciplines. It reorganizes traditional textbooks on engineering materials, tolerances and fits, and mechanical design fundamentals, and is written with years of teaching experience. The book is divided into 13 chapters, covering main topics such as: General Introduction, Basic Knowledge of Mechanical Design, Tolerances and Fits, Common Mechanisms, Friction Wheel Drives and Flexible Drives, Gear Drives, Gear Trains and Reducers, Shafts, Bearings, Connections, Lubrication and Sealing of Mechanical Devices, Springs, and Balancing and Adjustment of Machinery. Each chapter includes a certain number of practice questions. This book can be used as a textbook for vocational colleges in mechanical or near-mechanical disciplines, or as a teaching reference for teachers and students in various levels and types of schools. This book is also developed in accordance with the "Basic Requirements for Teaching of Mechanical Design Fundamentals in Engineering Undergraduate Programs of Higher Education" and is based on years of teaching practice. It mainly introduces the fundamental knowledge required in mechanical design, the composition of machines, common mechanisms, the design of common mechanical components, and the design of mechanical systems. It also briefly introduces modern design methods. This book can serve as a textbook for students in near-mechanical and non-mechanical disciplines in higher engineering colleges, and can also be referenced by teachers and students in other relevant disciplines and engineering technicians.
