Synopsis

This text provides information on the design of machinery. It presents vector mathematical and matrix solution methods for analysis of both kinetic and dynamic analysis topics, and emphasizes the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis of engineering problems. The author aims to convey the art of the design process in order to prepare students to successfully tackle genuine engineering problems encountered in practice. The book also emphasizes the synthesis and design aspects of the subject with analytical synthesis of linkages covered and cam design is given a thorough and practical treatment.

From the Publisher

Part I of the text is suitable for a one-semester or one-term course in kinematics; Part II is suitable for a one-semester or one-term course in dynamics of machinery.
Conveys the art of the design process.
Provides up-to-date methods and techniques for analysis and synthesis.
Detailed example problems are spelled out both verbally and graphically.
Presents vector mathematical and matrix solution methods for analysis of both kinematics and dynamic analysis topics
Emphasizes the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis of engineering problems.
Writing and style of presentation.
A more complete, modern, and thorough treatment of cam design than existing texts on this subject.
New software included free with the text, includes a fully functioning version of Working Model 2D vs.4.0 with animated models of 20 of the examples from Norton's text. The examples are denoted in the text for easy reference. Students will be able to open, run, interact, create, save, and modify the models on the CD. Working Model 2D vs. 4.0 is a Windows-based popular desktop motion simulation tool that gives students an understanding of how actual mechanical systems and components work and interact. A user's guideline and demo are built into the program.
Updated computer programs are now available on a Windows-based CD-ROM. These programs are designed to enhance the student's understanding of basic concepts while simultaneously allowing more comprehensive, realistic problems be done in the limited time available. This student-friendly multimedia allows students to investigate parametric results in a variety of kinematic devices. Programs FOURBAR, FIVEBAR, and SIXBAR analyze the kinematics of those types of linkages. DYNACAM allows the design and dynamic analysis of cam-follower systems. ENGINE analyzes the slider-crank linkage as used in the internal combustion engine and provides a complete dynamic analysis of single and multicylinder engine configurations, allowing the mechanical dynamic design of engines to be done. MATRIX is a general purpose linear equation solver. All these programs, except MATRIX, provide dynamic, graphical animation of the designed devices. Many solutions to the book's examples and problem sets are provided on the program disk as files to be read into these programs. Many of these solutions can be animated for a better demonstration of the concept than is possible on the printed page.
Now features twice as many problem sets.
All the illustrations have been redrawn, enhanced, and improved.
More design projects provide an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge to realistic problems.
Expanded coverage of the design process in Chapter 1.
Expanded coverage of fundamentals and motors, coupler curve synthesis, numerical solution techniques, and gear kinematics.
