Standard work on construction catalogs. Volume 2 contains in the first part the most important catalogs for systematic construction, the methods of working with them, and guidelines for their new creation, as well as selection and evaluation methods. The second part includes numerous procedures for the unambiguous determination of support point bearings, methods for interactive construction with computers, and automatic construction by computers, as well as a detailed directory of construction catalogs available in the literature. Clearly presented mechanical solutions for important functions for practitioners, from shaft-hub connections and rivets to rolling bearing linear guides, recalculation of the many hundreds of thousands of support point bearings for theorists, and guidance for the automatic construction of connection tasks for computer users.
