From the Back Cover

This thorough and comprehensive introduction to modern mechanism design focuses on theoretical foundations and on computer implementation and computer-aided design. Exploring all material both graphically and analytically, this book covers kinematics, mechanisms, and dynamics. Graphically-based methods are grouped together followed by analytical and computer-based solutions. This edition includes a CD-ROM with animations of real and computer-generated mechanisms.
