DESCRIPTION:
With this text, you'll be able to develop the solid theoretical background and practical knowledge you need to solve real-world problems.. Offering a modern approach to the study of mechanisms and machines, Kenneth Waldron and Gary Kinzel's Second Edition of KINEMATICS, DYNAMICS, AND DESIGN OF MACHINERY presents comprehensive, authoritative coverage of a wide variety of topics, ranging from planar linkage design to spatial mechanisms and robotics
few positives things to say David Burns The graphical approaches given in this book are a great way to learn the material and this is something that is sorely missing in other texts in this subject. However, this does not compensate for the fact that this book was poorly edited and contains numerous errors (present in both editions). I do not recommend this book to students or to inte. Horrible! This textbook is horrible! There are no solutions to any of the problems at the end of the chapter. The solutions to the example problems are miserable as well. It gives you a diagram for a system of bars and doesn't explain why they count n links or j joints or anything. If you take a course requiring this book, think again.. c_e_ said Not worth the paper it is printed on. I am a ME student currently taking a kinematics and mechatronics class that uses this book. Reading this book has been an absolute chore and learning anything from it has been very difficult. Concepts are either very poorly explained or not explained at all. That's not, however, for lack of trying as most explanations are extremely wordy and ove
