Kinematics

Kinematics: A Treatise On The Modification Of Motion, As Affected By The Forms And Modes Of Connection Of The Moving Parts Of Machines is a book written by Charles William MacCord in 1883. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of motion and how it is affected by the forms and modes of connection of the moving parts of machines. It covers the principles of kinematics, which is the study of motion without considering the forces that cause it. MacCord's book is divided into three parts. The first part covers the principles of kinematics, including the various types of motion, such as rectilinear, circular, and curvilinear motion. It also covers the laws of motion, including the laws of inertia, acceleration, and action and reaction. The second part of the book focuses on the modification of motion in machines. It covers the various types of connections between moving parts, including gears, pulleys, and levers. It also covers the principles of linkages, which are mechanisms that transform one type of motion into another. The third part of the book covers the practical application of kinematics in the design of machines. It includes examples of the design of various machines, such as steam engines, pumps, and machine tools. Overall, Kinematics: A Treatise On The Modification Of Motion, As Affected By The Forms And Modes Of Connection Of The Moving Parts Of Machines is a valuable resource for engineers, mechanics, and anyone interested in the principles of motion and the design of machines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
