Design Of Machinery

Engine Design

Engine Design Program LINKAGES/Engine by R. L. Norton This program is now one of several modules within the comprehensive program LINKAGES described elsewhere on this site.

Norton Associates Engineering: Design of Machinery

The foremost goal of the author is to convey the art of the design process and the fundamentals of kinematics and dynamics in order to prepare students to successfully tackle genuine engineering problems encountered in practice.

Cam Design

We tested the software on automatic machine cams that need to run very fast and have a profile with smooth dynamics. Our cams are desmodromic and Dynacam helped us to design the principal cam profile and also generated the conjugate profile immediately.

Linkage Design

Program Linkages will design and analyze pin-jointed and slider linkages with four, five, and six links.

Program Matrix

Program MATRIX by R. L. Norton. This program is a general linear system solver that allows the on-screen input of the matrix of equation coefficients and a vector of constant terms for up to 20 linear equations.

Design of Machinery

Design of Machinery stands out with its friendly writing style, clear exposition of complex topics, attractive appearance, thorough and relevant coverage, emphasis on synthesis and design, and helpful computer programs.

Machine Design

The book's first part presents the fundamentals of design, materials, stress, strain, deflection, and failure theories, including an introduction to fracture mechanics. The second part discusses the design of specific elements such as springs, gears, and shafts but …
