This text covers machine design, mechanisms and vibration, enabling students to learn how they operate, what they do, and their geometry. Important concepts of position difference and apparent position are introduced, teaching students that there are two kinds of motion referred to a stationary reference system. Emphasis is placed on graphical methods of analysis result in feedback and better understanding of the geometry involved.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A classic which a passionate Mechanical Engineer should have,
By A Customer
This review is from: Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (Hardcover)
This was my textbook in my undergrad and which I cherish having around me. Gives a comprehensive treatment of kinematics uptill the level demanded for a practising mechanical engineer.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Great kinematics, poor everything else,
By
This review is from: Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (Hardcover)
When it came to the other sections of the book, it seemed to lack much information. a prime example is in the gears section. if you did not read the book in chronological order, you would not understand later chapters. example if you were interested in worm gears, and you didn't read the spur gears section you would be completely lost. For this reason i would say it does not make a good book for reference as it may not be clear if you will need to do some hunting later.Beyond the kinematics i would recommend RL Norton's book for machine designing.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Keep the Good work going!,

This review is from: Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (Hardcover)
The book arrived on time and in good order. It is new but I rated 4 out of 5 because there is dirt spot at the edges of the book at the top left side which looks like hand stain on the book otherwise, everything is fine. Thanks for the quick delivery.
