Features: This textbook was developed to meet the needs of cultivating talents in the 21st century and is one of the main textbooks for the reform of mechanical foundation courses. It is designed for students in major mechanical disciplines, focusing on cultivating their innovative abilities, overall design capabilities for mechanical systems, and structural design capabilities. The teaching content is centered on mechanical design, organically combining and integrating the main content of the traditional courses "Mechanics," "Mechanical Design," and "Interchangeability and Technical Measurement," while emphasizing the advancedness, practicality, and appropriate expansion of foundational knowledge. The textbook is divided into four parts, totaling 25 chapters. Part I: General Principles of Mechanical Design (Chapters 2-5) primarily introduces fundamental knowledge in mechanical design, such as the composition of mechanical systems and mechanisms, strength and stiffness issues in mechanical design, and the basics of precision design. Part II: Design of Mechanical Components and Mechanisms (Chapters 6-18) mainly elaborates on the parameter design and motion design of mechanical components and mechanisms. Part III: Structural Design of Mechanical Components (Chapters 19-21) primarily discusses the structural design of mechanical components and sealing structures. Part IV: Design of Mechanical Systems and System Dynamics (Chapters 22-25) mainly covers the conceptual design of mechanical systems, system dynamics design, and dimension chains. This textbook can serve as a foundational teaching resource for mechanical design in various disciplines at higher education institutions, as well as a reference for faculty, students, and engineering professionals in related fields.
