Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

With over 25 years of outstanding research contributions and teaching experiences, Kenneth Waldron and Gary Kinzel provide a modern approach to the study of mechanisms and machines. The text reflects their unique backgrounds and provides an integrated treatment of a set of seemingly diverse topics, such as planar mechanisms, spatial mechanisms and robotics. Their emphasis on both analytical and graphical methods sets the stage so that students can readily transform problems into computer algorithms. Building on the success of the previous edition, the Second Edition continues to use the vector approach for both analysis and synthesis, and provides a solid theoretical background in kinematic principles coupled with practical examples.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
