Book Description: "Alexander Ivanov – Machine Design: Origins and Foundations"
This book explores the historical and theoretical roots of machine design, tracing the evolution of key components and systems. It examines the development of bearings—from wooden sliding types using lignum vitae to radial ball, tapered roller, and self-aligning ball designs. Drive systems are covered from muscle power to steam engines, internal combustion engines, and electric motors. The author also discusses entire machines, ranging from bicycles to lathes, steamships, and automobiles.
The theoretical foundations include essential principles from theoretical mechanics, strength of materials, and interchangeability, typically taught in engineering curricula. These concepts are presented from a unified perspective aimed at practical usefulness for machine designers. Complex topics are addressed historically, from the emergence of the problem, and illustrated with numerous diagrams.
The book is written in an accessible and engaging style for a broad audience. It is intended for design engineers, mechanical engineering specialists, graduate students, university instructors, undergraduate students, and even school pupils. The author ensures sufficient depth in both theoretical and historical aspects.
