Kinematics, Dynamics, and Design of Machinery

Kinematics, Dynamics, and Design of Machinery, Third Edition, presents a fresh approach to kinematic design and analysis and is an ideal textbook for senior undergraduates and graduates in mechanical, automotive and production engineering

• Presents the traditional approach to the design and analysis of kinematic problems and shows how GCP can be used to solve the same problems more simply
• Provides a new and simpler approach to cam design
• Includes an increased number of exercise problems
• Accompanied by a website hosting a solutions manual, teaching slides and MATLAB® programs
