good value, practical and readable August 10, 1998

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

This is the book I reach for first. The scope is broad, the presentation is readable, and it is full of well chosen, practical example problem solutions. The illustrations are clear and informative - not just filling up the pages with useless photographs and mind-numbingly silly captions as some of the other authors in the field have done.

Hall, Holowenko and Laughlin have covered all the standard topics, as well as the other writers on machine design. And the price is reasonable.

Extremely dated; professionally risky to use January 17, 2006

By Wood and Metal Worker

Format:Paperback

I just purchased one of these, unseen, having had good luck with Schaum's outlines before.

I was shocked to see that it hasn't been updated since 1961! That's 45 years McGraw-Hill. Surely you've sold enough of these in the 34 printings to justify updating it a couple of times per century?

Most of the content looks current. Some of it, for instance, how fatigue is calculated, sizing of bearings, safety factors, etc., is clearly outdated. There may be other topics which are also outdated -- and this is the big problem -- you don't know which of your calculations is wrong when following this book. For an engineer it isn't acceptable to hope your structural designs are safe, and citing a reference that hasn't been updated in almost half a century isn't going to be much of a defence if anything goes wrong. While most of the material is probably still correct, using this book without knowing what is right and what is wrong would be a form of professional "Russian Roulette."

Machine design is still widely taught, in fact, ABET has increased the requirements for design content in mechanical engineering programs in recent years, increasing the potential market for a book like this. It's too bad that McGraw-Hill doesn't recognize the market for a modern version of this book. It would be very helpful to students and practicing engineers alike. Due to the risks involved in using this old version, however, I don't recommend it.

Schaum's helps make it click... October 1, 2001

By A Customer

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I'm using this as a supplement in a class where the professor is not always easy to follow. The worked problems are really helping me. I wish there was some info on Mohr's Circle though. That would make this book go hand in hand as a study guide for Machine Design.

The picture posted of the book was of a much newer edition of the book. It misrepresented the listed item.
