Theory of Mechanisms by John J. Uicker, Gordon R. Pennock and Joseph E. Shigley, 3rd Edition. Oxford Press, 2003
The scholarship of the late Joseph Shigley continues to influence mechanical design education almost a decade after his death in 1994 through the publication of new editions of his books Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (Oxford Press) with Profs. Uicker and Pennock, and his Mechanical Engineering Design (McGraw-Hill) with Prof. Mischke. The Theory of Machines and Mechanisms traces itself to the integration of Prof. Shigley’s Kinematic Analysis of Mechanisms and Dynamic Analysis of Machines into the single book Theory of Machines in 1961. John Uicker worked with Prof. Shigley on the 1995 second edition that included the analysis of spatial mechanisms and robots using vector formulations adapted for numerical computation. For this third edition, Gordon Pennock joins Prof. Uicker to provide an impressive new look to this classic text. The book...
