An integrated, case-based approach to machine design

Machine Design: An Integrated Approach, 6th Edition presents machine design in an up-to-date and thorough manner with an emphasis on design. Author Robert Norton draws on his 50-plus years of experience in mechanical engineering design, both in industry and as a consultant, as well as 40 of those years as a university instructor in mechanical engineering design. 

Written at a level aimed at junior-senior mechanical engineering students, the textbook emphasizes failure theory and analysis as well as the synthesis and design aspects of machine elements. Independent of any particular computer program, 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.
