USDUniquely comprehensive and precise, this thoroughly updated sixth edition of the well-established and respected textbook is ideal for the complete study of the kinematics and dynamics of machines. With a strong emphasis on intuitive graphical methods, and accessible approaches to vector analysis, students are given all the essential background, notation, and nomenclature needed to understand the various independent technical approaches that exist in the field of mechanisms, kinematics, and dynamics, which are presented with clarity and coherence. This revised edition features updated coverage, and new worked examples alongside over 840 figures, over 620 end-of-chapter problems, and a solutions manual for instructors.
- The most comprehensive textbook on machines and mechanisms available
- Over 620 end-of-chapter problems and over 140 worked examples
- Over 840 explanatory figures
Reviews & endorsements
'In the sixth edition of this classic and comprehensive machine design text, the authors have produced an update that stays true to the strengths of the previous editions (e.g., kinematic coefficients) and incorporates state of the art advances to both content and presentation.' Pierre Larochelle, South Dakota School of Mines & Technology
'The analytical approaches implemented in this book paired with the graphical methods facilitate learning for students. The order of sections in both kinematics and kinetics chapters are well thought out. The chapters on cams and gears are very inclusive. The example problems are very practical, ranging from easy to complicated.' Ahmad Ghasemloonia, University of Calgary
'This is the most comprehensive undergraduate textbook available on the theory of mechanisms and their kinematics. It covers linkages, cams, gears, engine dynamics, and more with rigorous mathematics, yet it is sufficiently thorough to serve as an introduction to the material for students seeing it for the first time.' Christopher Barrett, Mississippi State University
