Robert L. Norton's sixth edition of DESIGN OF MACHINERY continues the tradition of this best-selling book through its balanced coverage of analysis and design and outstanding use of realistic engineering examples. Through its reader-friendly style of writing, clear exposition of complex topics, and emphasis on synthesis and design, the text succeeds in conveying the art of design as well as the use of modern tools needed for analysis of the kinematics and dynamics of machinery. Topics are explained verbally and visually, often through the use of software, to enhance student understanding. Accompanying the book is an updated online learning center.
In addition to the printed version of the text, digital e-book versions are also available. These have hotlinks to all the videos and to the downloadable content provided. There are 188 videos.
Over 50 new problem assignments have been added. The problem figures are included as downloadable PDF files so that students can easily print hard copies on which to work the solutions.
The author-written programs that come with the book have been completely rewritten to improve their interface and usability, and they are now compatible with the latest operating systems and computers. Professors who adopt the book for a course and students using the print book may register to download the latest student versions of these programs from: http://www.designofmachinery.com.
The Working Model program is needed to run the Working Model files included with this text. The supplier, Design Simulation Technologies, offers student licenses for one-semester or one-year periods at moderate cost. These are available at http://www.design-simulation.com/Purchase/studentproducts.php.
Many small improvements have been made to the discussion of a variety of topics in many chapters, based largely on user feedback, and all known errors have been corrected.
The extensive DVD content that was introduced in the Fifth Edition is now downloadable from a website.
Focus on Design Process. The text attempts to convey the art of the design process to students to help them better cope with real engineering problems.
