Opis

Thoroughly updated sixth edition of an established and respected work, this is the ideal text for the complete study of the kinematics and dynamics of machines. Includes over 840 figures, 140 worked examples, 620 end-of-chapter problems, and solutions for instructors.

Recenzje

'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
