ABSTRACT

 From the Physiology of Machines to the Anatomy of MachinesAn offshoot stemming from the author's previous book detailing the makeup and composition of a machine, Power Mechanisms of Rotational and Cyclic Motions provides an in-depth analysis of machine structure and operation. An important reference for practicing mechanical engineers, this b
