Kinematics, Dynamics, and Design of Machinery, 3rd Edition, presents traditional methods for kinematic design and analysis alongside computational techniques. The textbook demonstrates how Geometric Constraint Programming can simplify solutions to standard kinematic problems.

Broad coverage includes planar linkage synthesis, graphical velocity and acceleration analysis, instant centers of velocity, and analytical mechanism modeling. The text also investigates gear trains, profile cam geometry, force analysis, and balancing.

Intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical, automotive, and production engineering, the 2016 edition features a simpler approach to cam design and an increased number of exercise problems.
