Kinematics of Machines
Kinematics of Machines by Rolland T. Hinkle is a core mechanical engineering textbook that deals with the study of relative motion between various parts of a machine. The text emphasizes both analytical and graphical methods to analyze the position, velocity, and acceleration of mechanisms such as linkages, cam followers, and gear trains. This second edition features refined pedagogical techniques and expanded problems to help students master the geometry of motion required for the design and synthesis of functional mechanical systems. It serves as an essential guide for undergraduate engineers to understand how complex movements are coordinated within machinery, ensuring operational efficiency and structural reliability.
