Shigley, Joseph Edward.

Theory of Machines and Mechanisms / Joseph Edward Shigley, John Joseph Uicker, Jr. - 2nd ed. - New York : McGraw-Hill, c1995. - xix, 719 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. - McGraw-Hill series in mechanical engineering .

Includes index.

Kinematics and mechanisms: the world of mechanics; position and displacement; velocity; acceleration. Part 2 Design of mechanisms: cam design; spur gears; helical gears; bevel gears; worm gears; mechanism trains; synthesis of linkages; spatial mechanisms; robotics. Part 3 Dynamics of machines: static force analysis; dynamic force analysis - planar, spatial; vibration analysis; dynamics of reciprocating engines; balancing of machines; cam dynamics.

This text covers machine design, mechanisms and vibration, enabling students to learn how they operate, what they do, and their geometry. Important concepts of position difference and apparent position are introduced, teaching students that there are two kinds of motion.
