This twenty page chapter provides an overview of polymeric materials with respect to morphology and additives, however, I would prefer more substantive instruction for designing with plastics. The two quantitative examples in the chapter are reworked problems from previous chapters with substituted material properties. The two qualitative examples do not provide sufficient analysis or data for adequate guidance to the practicing engineer or engineering student.
Issues related to plastics manufacturing processes e. While I highly recommend this text, I have two concerns. First, the approach is classical and formulaic without significant treatment of uncertainty in the design requirements or parameters. No graphs are provided showing the relationships between the results and the critical design variables. Second, a table of material properties would be very helpful. Overall, this 8 th edition of Machine Elements is rich with content and examples, and those looking for an undergraduate text on the subject should consider adopting this text.
I am also confident that graduate students and practicing engineers will find this to be a valuable reference. Sign In or Create an Account. Sign In. Advanced Search.
