It includes Appendix and Index Pages.

This SI edition of Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, International Fourth Edition, is designed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of mechanical engineering, taking a course on kinetics of machines, dynamics of machines, and-or mechanics of machines. It provides a comprehensive coverage of displacement, velocities, accelarations, and static and dynamic forces required for the proper design of mechanical linkages, cams, and geared systems. The book presents the background, notation, and nomenclature essential for students to understand the various independent technical approaches that exist in the field of mechanisms, kinetics, and dynamics. All measurements are presented using the International Systems of Units (SI).
