| Description | | - Student CD--Included with Every Copy of the Book.
The CD includes more than 70 three-dimensional interactive animations of mechanical systems in operation and allows students to design, animate, and test their own cams. It contains scale diagrams of in-text exercises, which may be used to solve homework problems, and more than 25 design projects in Working Model
software to offer
more challenges.
- A Solutions Manual is available to adopters.
| Mechanics of Machines
covers the analysis and design of machines and mechanisms, including simple linkages, gears, gear trains, and cams. Written in a clear, concise format the test covers mechanics of rigid bodies, graphical and analytical analysis of planar mechanisms, gears and gear trains, and cams. It concludes with chapters on graphical force analysis of planar mechanisms,
analytical force analysis and balancing of planar mechanisms, flywheels, and synthesis of mechanisms. Five easy-to-use appendixes at the end aid in navigation and review of the text.
