A sound background for solving many of the practical design problems faced by mechanical engineers is provided in this classroom-tested text. Each chapter comprises a concise, but thorough, fundamental statement of the theory, principles, and practice of mechanism and machine theory, followed by illustrative worked examples. The text covers elementary mechanisms, coupler curves, gear trains, lubrication, static and inertia force analysis, balancing of reciprocating components, and much more. Many exercises are included.

Addresses the problems faced by rotating and reciprocating machinery dynamics in torsional vibrations--both steady and transients; the unbalance response of rotors mounted on fluid film bearings under steady and transient operating conditions; and the instabilities in bending, torsion motions. Using a practical approach, it features current developments in such topics as dual rotor systems used in modern gas turbines; the optimum designs of hydrodynamic bearings for minimum unbalance response; transient response of Jeffcott type rotors using time marching techniques; instability analysis of cracked rotors and much more. Along with actual case studies and rotor examples, it aids the analyst in developing computer models of rotors using more accuracy and less time.
