Mechanics of Machines

Are you studying kinematics and dynamics of machines? Look no further than the Mechanics of Machines book, now in its Second Edition! This comprehensive guide covers all the essential concepts of gears, gear trains, and the mechanics of rigid bodies. With both graphical and analytical kinematic analyses of planar mechanisms, you'll gain a deep understanding of how machines work.

But that's not all - this edition also introduces two additional chapters on design methodology for machines and mechanisms. These chapters provide valuable insights into the process of designing disc-cam mechanisms and demonstrate common synthesis methods. With a substantial increase in exercises and end-of-chapter problems, you'll have plenty of opportunities to apply your knowledge and master the subject.

What truly sets this book apart is the companion website for students. Featuring over 170 models and animations, including 2D and 3D mechanisms and machines, you'll have access to a wealth of visual resources. The site also provides video clips of real mechanical systems in operation, giving you a chance to see the concepts in action. Additionally, you'll find scaled drawings and Mathcad files that can assist you in solving end-of-chapter problems.

Don't miss out on this updated edition of Mechanics of Machines. Whether you're a student seeking a thorough understanding of kinematics and dynamics or a professional looking to enhance your design skills, this book has everything you need.
