Kinematics and dynamics of machinery

by Charles E. Wilson

This text includes a broad coverage of the kinematics and dynamics of machines. Practical applications are considered throughout the text. Example problems and homework problems involve engineering design and provide a basis for design courses to follow. Analytical and graphical vector methods are illustrated, as well as complex numbers methods. The book illustrates the design and analysis of mechanisms with the aid of mathematics software, user-written computer programs, and spreadsheets. Computer graphics and dedicated kinematics and dynamics software are discussed. Many of the example and homework problems involve calculations and plotting of results that can be done most efficiently using a computer.

[Todd Coburn]

This is a solid text on the kinematics & dynamics of machinery. It is more of an old-school text, which means a lot of information is packed in there, but it has less flash and pizazz relative to newer textbooks. However, I believe it is a good supplementary text or reference if one can pick up a copy at a good price.
