Except for the introduction, the book consists of 13 chapters, including structural analysis of mechanisms, kinematic analysis of planar mechanisms, planar linkages and their design, cam mechanisms and their design, gear mechanisms and their design, gear trains and their design, other common mechanisms, formulation of mechanical motion plans, force analysis of planar mechanisms, balancing of planar mechanisms, mechanical efficiency of machines, operation of machines and regulation of velocity fluctuations, and the application of computers in mechanism analysis and synthesis. Additionally, the book includes review questions and exercises for each chapter, as well as commonly used tables and charts at the end. This book can serve as a textbook for mechanical engineering majors in higher industrial schools and can also be referenced by relevant teachers and engineering technicians.
