Martin, Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines, 2/E

“Chapters were clear and user friendly.” —Harvey Lyons, Eastern Michigan University

“The text contains many good figures, photographs, and schematics of a variety of mechanisms. Review of classical linkages is valuable, such as the discussion of constant velocity couplings.” —Stephen Canfield, Tennessee Tech University

“I like the organization, the worked examples, and the analytic follow-on after the graphic analysis.” —David C. Ludwigson, Westmoreland County Community College

“I have used this book for many years in a kinematics course. I found it to be good in many areas and would certainly recommend it again.” —Hamid Rad, Oregon Institute of Technology

“This is a very good text. I like the example problems throughout the chapters, and the problems for student work at the end of the chapters are good. The instructor’s solutions manual is excellent, and easy to follow” —David Veazie, Clark Atlanta University

“A well-written introductory text” —Gene Liao, Wayne State University
