About this title

Synopsis

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 referred to a stationary reference system. Emphasis is placed on graphical methods of analysis result in feedback and better understanding of the geometry involved.
