Design of Machinery: An Introduction to the Synthesis and Analysis of Mechanisms and Machines

Intended for one course or a two-course sequence in kinematics and dynamics of machinery, this text is enhanced uses a two-colour format. While it includes thorough coverage on the topics of analysis, the text also emphasizes the synthesis and design aspects of kinematics and dynamics of machinery topics. It stresses the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to design and analysis. Software designed to enhance student understanding is packaged with each book. An instructor's manual and software are available.
