Design of Machine Elements provides a detailed exposition of the principal theories behind the design process and their application in various machine members, including transmission elements. It is written to cater to the students of undergraduate mechanical engineering and allied disciplines for a two-semester course on the subject.

Beginning with a detailed discussion of the underlying principles of materials selection, load, stress analysis, and theories of failure in the first nine chapters, the book in subsequent chapters, applies the learnt principles through various machine members such as welded joints, springs, bearings, gears, and shafts.

It further provides an exhaustive coverage of the design application of various transmission elements such as belts, pulleys, and flywheels.
