Across the world and in this part of the country, several stalwarts have presented treatise on Dynamics of Machinery’, This latest publication on the subject was attempted by me as yet another small contribution in the area. It is my great pleasure and privilege to contribute the same to the immediate benefit of especially mechanical engineering students who are taking Anna University Examinations, While writing this book, the contents are so formatted to directly and strictly address the latest syllabus of Anna University.

Under the present circumstances of the technical education especially in Tamil Nadu, there appears no book of this type on this subject for a quick and immediate reference by the students. That is, majority of the students will always be looking for very lucid statements in a treatise like this and as well quick understanding of the complicated machine drawing illustrations via easily understandable definition sketches and as well line diagrams. I therefore severely hope that the present form of this book addresses to the above needs of the Students

The contents are formatted to have 12 chapters, numerous solved example problems, and unsolved problems for practice with answers, and similar other exercises. Thus the present form of the book has a reasonably wide coverage in sufficient depth giving the much needed basic concepts of Dynamics of Machinery’
