Mechanisms / Machines (Electromechanical Technology Series)

This material presents the topic of modern machines. It combines the elements of mechanical theory, drafting skills and practical applications. The topics treated include: graphical analysis of machines in the areas of velocity and acceleration polygons, and the dynamics of cams, gears and intermittent motion mechanisms. The materials are presented in an action-oriented format combining many of the features normally found in a textbook with those usually associated with a laboratory manual.
