Book
Kinematics and Dynamics of Machinery
This textbook provides a comprehensive treatment of the kinematics and dynamics of machines, focusing on the analysis and design of mechanical linkages, cams, and gear trains. The authors present a clear development of the fundamental principles of motion and force analysis, utilizing both analytical and graphical methods to solve complex machinery problems. This second edition introduces computer-aided analysis techniques, helping students and engineers apply mathematical models to real-world mechanical systems. Key topics include position, velocity, and acceleration analysis, as well as static and dynamic force analysis, balancing of rotating masses, and the study of mechanical vibrations in machines. It serves as an essential resource for undergraduate mechanical engineering students seeking to understand the synthesis and performance of moving mechanisms.
