Machine Design: An Integrated Approach

by Robert L. Norton

This textbook on machine design emphasizes failure theory and analysis as well as the synthesis and design aspects of machine elements. The book points out the commonality of the analytical approaches needed to design a wide variety of elements and emphasizes the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis of these classes of problems. Nine case studies are used to present different aspects of the same design problem which illustrate concepts behind different design problems while computer software is integrated throughout the text to facilitate parametric studies and give the students a more realistic design experience. TK Solver is the equation solver used in the software and all examples and case studies are included on the software.

This was a heavy book (probably too heavy than it should have been; hence the 4 stars). I only read about 20% of it. But it did help a lot in MEL311 Machine Element Design for which I bought it in fifth semester during undergrad in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Delhi. If the book was half as thick (which I am sure could be done), it would have been worth the purchase. I would recommend renting or loaning from library.

Its one of the most in-depth book in machine design. Good flow of contents. Explanation is somewhat difficult and may take much time to read even a few pages. Some topics are missing like different coupling types.

It is a very good book for the approach of design of machines. Some is quite confusing but goes through with pictures and even website features.
