Kinematic design of machines and mechanisms this text gives mechanical engineers and designers practical information and how to methodologies for the application of the geometry of motion it covers such devices as crank slider quick return mechanisms linkages cams and gear and gear trains. The first complete and practical guide to the integration design and analysis of machines and their motions designed to improve the enigneers intuitive approach to machine design this highly practical guide offers a clear understanding of the principles of the geometry of motion and the real world connections between kinematic phenomena and the behavior of actual machines
