Open: Theory of Mechanisms and Machines

The theory of mechanisms and machines is the first branch of technical science, a study of which is essential! for successful activity in the sphere of mechanical engineering, and is the basis of the education of specialists in this field.

In my country special attention is given to machine building which is one of the principal branches of industry. The other important branches of industry can develop successfully only by proper development of machine building. Without machines it is impossible to attain any significant increase in productivity, mechanization and automation of the process of production.

The theory of mechanisms and machines first became an independent science in my country and has made outstanding progress. The main fields of the science of mechanisms and machines, the structure and classification of mechanisms, kinematics analysis of mechanisms, the combined static and inertia-force analysis of mechanisms and elementary knowledge about the dynamics of mechanisms and machines, are presented in this book in simple form.
