Omschrijving
Mechanics of Machines is designed for undergraduate courses in kinematics and dynamics of machines. It covers the basic concepts of gears, gear trains, the mechanics of rigid bodies, and graphical and analytical kinematic analyses of planar mechanisms. An appendix presents twenty-six design projects based on practical, real-world engineering situations.
"Mechanics of Machines does an excellent job covering the fundamentals and bringing in real-life applications. This is a wonderfully rich, yet succinct, assembly of fundamental topics."--Amanul Haque, Pennsylvania State University "This book is clearer and better written than any other book I have seen. It is a student-friendly book."--Oladipo Onipede Jr., Penn State Erie, The Behrend College
