Theory of Machines and Mechanisms
Theory of Machines and Mechanisms provides a text for the complete study of displacements, velocities, accelerations, and static and dynamic forces required for the proper design of mechanical linkages, cams, and geared systems. The authors present the background, notation, and nomenclature essential for students to understand the various independent technical approaches that exist in the field of mechanisms, kinematics, and dynamics.\ Now fully revised in its fourth edition, this text is...

Three U.S. professors of mechanical engineering present a textbook on kinematics and dynamics of machines. They stress the analytic and synthetic use of graphical computing, but also use conventional methods of vector analysis. After introductory chapters on kinematic analysis, the text examines the selection, specification, design, and sizing of mechanisms for specific motion objectives. The dynamics of machines, understood as the consequences of proposed mechanism design specification, is explored in reference to final operation, forces produced, and unexpected operating results.
