Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, Third Edition” is an in-depth study of rigid-body mechanical systems, providing essential background for further exploration into stress, strength, fatigue, life, modes of failure, lubrication, and other advanced aspects of mechanical system design. This edition equips students with the necessary background, notation, and nomenclature to understand the diverse and independent technical approaches in the fields of mechanisms, kinematics, and dynamics of machines.

Key Features of the Third Edition:

  • Comprehensive Analysis Methods: The authors use a balanced approach, incorporating both graphical and analytical methods to cover all aspects of analysis and development in the field.
  • Introduction of Kinematic Coefficients: New material includes kinematic coefficients, clearly separating kinematic (geometric) effects from speed or dynamic dependence.
  • User-Driven Improvements: Based on user feedback, the authors have excluded written computer programs, encouraging professors and students to write their own. This approach ensures the book remains relevant despite changes in computers and programming languages.

Content Overview:

Part I: Theory and Methods of Analysis

  • Introduces theory, nomenclature, notation, and various methods of analysis.
  • Describes all aspects of mechanisms, including their nature, function, classification, and limitations.
  • Covers kinematic analyses such as position, velocity, and acceleration.

Part II: Engineering Applications

  • Focuses on the engineering applications involved in the selection, specification, design, and sizing of mechanisms to achieve specific motion objectives.
  • Includes chapters on cam systems, gears, gear trains, synthesis of linkages, spatial mechanisms, and robotics.

Part III: Dynamics of Machines

  • Presents the dynamics of machines and the consequences of proposed mechanism design specifications.
  • Introduces new dynamic devices whose functions require dynamic analysis to be understood and explained.
  • Incorporates entirely new chapters on the analysis and design of flywheels, governors, and gyroscopes.

This third edition of “Theory of Machines and Mechanisms” is an invaluable resource for students and professionals in mechanical engineering, providing a solid foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of machine design.

About Author

John J. Uicker, Jr. is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. His teaching and research specialties are in solid geometric modeling, modeling of mechanical motion and their application to computer-aided design and manufacture. He received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Northwestern University and joined the University of Wisconsin faculty in 1967. Uicker is one of the founding members of the US Council for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms. He served for several years as editor-in-chief of the Mechanism and MachineTheory.
Gordon R. Pennock is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. His teaching experience is primarily in the area of machine design. His research specialties are in theoretical kinematics and in the dynamics of mechanical motion. He has applied his research to robotics, rotary machinery and biomechanics, including kinematics and dynamics of articulated rigid-body mechanical systems. He received his Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Davis. Since joining the Purdue University faculty in 1983, he has served on several national committees and international program committees. He is the Student Section Advisor of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) at Purdue University, Region VI College Relations Chairman, Senior Representative on the Student Section Committee, and a member of the Board on Student Affairs. He is also an Associate of the Internal Combustion Engine Division, ASME, and served as the Technical Committee Chairman of Mechanical Design, Internal Combustion Engine Division, from 1993-1997. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Joseph E. Shigley (deceased May 1994) was Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan and a Fellow in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He held the Mechanisms Committee Award, the Worcester Reed Warner medal and the Machine Design Award. He was an author of eight books, including Mechanical Engineering Design (with Charles R. Mischke) and Applied Mechanics of Materials. He was also Coeditor-in-Chief of the Standard Handbook of Machine Design. He first wrote Kinematic Analysis of Mechanisms in 1958 and Dynamic Analysis of Machines in 1961. These texts became published in a single volume titled Theory of Machines in 1961 and evolved over the years to the current text, Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, now in its third edition.
