(BQ) The study of the kinematics and dynamics of machines lies at the very core of a mechanical engineering background. Although tremendous advances have been made in the computational and design tools now available, little has changed in the way the subject is presented, both in the classroom and in professional references. | FUNDAMENTALS of KINEMATICS and DYNAMICS of MACHINES and MECHANISMS 0257/FM/Frame Page 2 Friday, June 2, 2000 6:38 PM FUNDAMENTALS of KINEMATICS and DYNAMICS of MACHINES and MECHANISMS Oleg Vinogradov CRC Press Boca Raton London New York Washington, . 0257/FM/Frame Page 4 Friday, June 2, 2000 6:38 PM Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Vinogradov, Oleg (Oleg G.)
