Joseph E. Shigley (deceased May, 1994)
Joseph Shigley was Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan, Fellow in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, received the Worcester Reed Warner medal in 1977, and their Machine Design Award in 1985. He was the author of eight books, including Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (with John J. Uicker, Jr.), and Applied Mechanics of Materials. He was Coeditor-in-Chief of the Standard Handbook of Machine Design. He began Machine Design as sole author in 1956, and it evolved into Mechanical Engineering Design, setting the model for such textbooks. He was awarded the B.S.M.E. and B.S.E.E. degrees of Purdue University, and the M.S. of the University of Michigan. Joseph Edward Shigley indeed made a difference.
Charles R. Mischke has held faculty positions at the University of
of Kansas, Pratt Institute, New York, and Iowa State University.
He has received many awards for teaching and scholarship, including
the Machine Design Award of ASME and Life Fellow of ASME. In addition
to numerous research papers, he has authored Elements of Mechanical
Analysis, 1963, Introduction to Computer-Aided Design 1968,
Mathematical Model Building, 1980, coauthored Mechanical Engineering
Design, 1986, 2001, and was Co-Editor-in-Chief of the award-winning
Standard Handbook of Machine Design, 1986, 1993
He was awarded the BSME and MME of Cornell University, and the Ph.D.
of the University of Wisconsin. He is a licensed Professional
Engineer in Iowa, and Kansas, and lectures in various forums on
topics of mutual interest.
Richard G. Budynas is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. He has over 30 years experience in teaching and practicing mechanical engineering design. He is author of a newly revised McGraw-Hill textbook, Advanced Strength and Applied Stress Analysis, Second Edition; and co-author of a newly revised McGraw-Hill reference book, Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain, Seventh Edition.
