Theory of Machines: Kinematics and Dynamics

The Theory of Machines is an important subject to mechanical engineering students of both bachelor’s and diploma level. One has to understand the basics of kinematics and dynamics of machines before designing and manufacturing any component. The subject material is presented in such a way that an average student can easily understand the concepts. The graphical methods of analysis are given preference over analytical wherever possible though they lack in accuracy but can be performed quickly. Particular care has been taken to draw diagrams to scale correctly. The results are compared with analytical ones wherever possible._x000D_B.V.R.
