Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the theory of machines, defining them as combinations of resistant parts with definite motions in relation to each other, aimed at performing work. The author argues that machines are distinct from other structures or constructions due to their pre-determined paths of motion, which are independent of external forces and designed to perform specific tasks. The book delves into the kinematics of machinery, the study of motion within machines, exploring concepts such as plane constrained motion, turning and sliding pairs, mechanisms, and inversions of chains. The author draws upon examples from steam engines, lathes, and other common machines to illustrate these principles. Overall, this book provides a foundational understanding of the theory and motion of machines, essential for engineers and students in the field.
