Shigley’s Mechanical Engineering Design: 2024 Release (11th Edition) is the definitive textbook for mastering the theory and application of mechanical design. Celebrated for its precision, clarity, and depth, this edition builds upon decades of engineering expertise to provide students and professionals with a solid foundation in design analysis, material selection, and problem-solving.
Updated for the modern engineer, the 2024 edition integrates current engineering standards, real-world examples, and computational tools to reflect the latest industry practices. It bridges the gap between classical mechanics and today’s digital design environments, preparing learners for both academic and professional success.
Develop a deep understanding of design methodology, the engineering design process, and how to incorporate safety, sustainability, and reliability into every stage of design.
Learn to evaluate materials based on mechanical and physical properties. Master the fundamentals of stress, strain, and deflection analysis for both static and dynamic systems.
Study the design, analysis, and optimization of key mechanical components—shafts, bearings, fasteners, springs, gears, and more—using both analytical and computational methods.
Understand fatigue life, fracture mechanics, and failure theories to ensure durable, long-lasting designs that perform safely under real-world conditions.
Leverage computer-aided engineering (CAE), finite element analysis (FEA), and simulation tools to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and innovation in mechanical design.
Explore case studies and industry examples that demonstrate how theoretical principles are applied to real products, systems, and mechanical solutions.
