This book establishes a modern practical approach to mechanical design. It introduces a full set of mechanical design theories and approaches to conduct and complete mechanical design tasks. The book uses Finite-Element Analysis (FEA) as a mechanical engineering tool to calculate stress/strain and then integrate it with failure theory to complete the mechanical design. FEA simulation always evaluates the stress and strain of any component/assembly no matter whether components/assemblies have complicated geometries and/or are under complicated loading conditions.

Government spending has increased dramatically in the United States since World War II despite the many rules intended to rein in the insatiable appetite for tax revenue most politicians seem to share. Drawing on examples from the federal and state governments, Rules and Restraint explains in lucid, nontechnical prose why these budget rules tend to fail, and proposes original alternatives for imposing much-needed fiscal discipline on our legislators.
