Book Description

Robert Norton's "Design of Machinery, 3/e" continues the tradition of this bestselling book by emphasizing the design aspects of mechanisms and providing numerous industry examples and illustrations for readers. Norton provides a solid conceptual foundation for the kinematics and dynamics of machinery, presented in the context of what a design engineer needs to work with. The new 3/e has revised and expanded chapter problem set - 231 new problems have been added. 88 Project Assignments are also included to give readers an in-depth look at mechanism design and analysis procedures in a realistic format. Coverage of compliant mechanisms and MEMS has been added in Chapter 2; a section entitled "Some Useful Mechanisms" is now in Chapter 3; treatment of cams in Chapters 8 has been condensed and modernized. Information on transmissions and engine dynamics has been enhanced and expanded as well. The third edition comes with a bound-in Student Resources CD-ROM, with Norton's own student-version programs, an extensive group of Working Model simulations (by Sid Wang, North Carolina A&T University), additional Working Model examples, and the MSC Working Model 2-D program itself (demonstration version). A new Book Website includes additional instructor and student resources. Detailed solutions to all chapter problems and project assignments, are available to instructors on the website, under password protection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive scope, methods can be non-intuitive, March 22, 2008

This review is from: Design of Machinery: An Introduction to the Synthesis and Analysis of Mechanisms and Machines (Hardcover)
The scope of anaysis methods presented in this book is broad enough that a reader would be able to derive all of the kinematic relationships and determine all forces in designing a piece of machinery. In short, the methods presented typically involve normalizing lengths and distances in a machine to a specific dimension within that machine. Such a method results in equations with terms that are not easily disiphered into a phyisical meaning. The methods do not make intuitive sense. All the same, it could serve as a reasonable reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Old Edition Book, September 12, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Design of Machinery: An Introduction to the Synthesis and Analysis of Mechanisms and Machines (Hardcover)
The book was exactly as had been described and was in perfect shape. It was an old edition but that is why I got it for such a good price.
