Machine Designers Reference

Written by a working mechanical designer with nearly 20 years experience, this practical on-the-job reference is packed with essential charts and tables, such as fastener data, locating feature data, material selection guides, and component selection charts, thereby enabling the reader to save time in the selection, sizing, and tolerancing of mechanical parts and assemblies. Concise best practices for mechanical design combined with essential charts and tables are also included. This book is intended to complement the software programs and technical website links designers most commonly rely on and will help to use them more efficiently. Both U.S. and metric units are used extensively, and metric hardware is well represented throughout. Additionally, this book will also be useful to mechanical engineering students and recent graduates looking to advance their careers in design. It complements, with little overlap, the coverage of the standard textbooks in the field and serves as a bridge between the academic curriculum and practical design requirements.

The book presents a comprehensive overview of the theory of the technological processes of lead-acid battery manufacture and their influence on battery performance parameters. It summarizes the current knowledge about the technology of lead-acid battery production and presents it in the form of an integral theory. This theory is supported by ample illustrative material and experimental data, thus allowing technologists and engineers to control the technological processes in battery plants and providing university lecturers with a toll for clear and in-depth presentation of the technology of lead-acid battery production in their courses. The relationship between the technological processes and the performance characteristics of the batteries is disclosed too.

• Disclosure of the structures of the lead and lead dioxide active masses, ensuring reversibility of the processes during charge and discharge and thus long cycle life of the battery
• Proposal of optimum conditions for individual technological processes which would yield appropriate structures of the lead and lead dioxide active masses
• Disclosure of the influence of H2SO4 concentration on battery performance parameters
• Discussion of the processes involved in the closed oxygen cycle in VRLAB and the thermal phenomena leading to thermal runaway (TRA)
• Elucidation of the relationship between technology of battery manufacture and battery capacity and cycle life performance

It will be useful to all practitioners of machine design, and epically useful to designers in the automation, assembly equipment, and light industrial machine industries. For those at the start of their careers, there is enough background provided on each topic to allow the reader to use the procedures and formulas and to communicate with suppliers. For the experienced practitioner, the book is organized to concisely provide tips, formulas, and data needed most often. Most formulas and data are collected in large-format tables, and all tables are indexed at the start of each chapter. Bullet lists of best practices and critical considerations are also provided. Each chapter lists recommended further resources including books, websites, and companies. Coverage includes design and analysis, ergonomics and machine safety, dimensions and tolerances, pins and retaining rings, pipe threads and washers, welds and weldments, materials and surfaces, power transmission devices, and machine reliability and performance. The book is illustrated with b&w photos and illustrations, and features a larger type size for readability. Marrs is a mechanical design engineer.
