Dechev N., Cleghorn W.L. Mechanics of Machines

Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015. — 645 p.Mechanics of Machines, Second Edition, is ideal for courses in kinematics and dynamics of machines. It covers the basic concepts of gears, gear trains, the mechanics of rigid bodies, and graphical and analytical kinematic analyses of planar mechanisms. In addition, the text describes a procedure for designing disc-cam mechanisms, discusses graphical and analytical force analyses and balancing of planar mechanisms, illustrates common methods for synthesis of mechanisms, and covers design methodology for mechanisms.
