Description
Excerpt from Kinematics and Kinetics of Machinery: A Text Book for Colleges, and Technical Schools
This book is the outcome of several years' experience in teaching kinematics and kinetics of machinery at the University of Illinois. For many years this subject was taught from notes prepared by Professor G. A. Goodenough, to which was added an article on the gyroscope by Professor F. B. Seely of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. These notes were several times revised by the authors as experience showed where improvements could be made.
In the fall of 1916 the authors undertook, with the consent of Messrs. Goodenough and Seely, to rewrite these notes in textbook form. The present volume is the outcome of that undertaking. The work was interrupted by the war, which took one of the writers into the military service, and imposed on the other such a heavy burden of teaching work that further progress on the book was impossible. In the fall of 1919 the work was resumed and pushed to completion.
The introductory chapter on constraint, the chapter on plane motion, and the chapter on velocities follow closely Professor Goodenough's notes. The chapter on the gyroscope is inserted almost without change as written by Professor Seely. The chapters on accelerations, on inertia forces, on balancing and on governors have been so completely rewritten that little trace remains of the original. The chapters on toothed wheels, on cams, on wrapping connectors, and on critical speeds have been added by the authors.
