The book is intended for a wide readership. Students willing to acquire a background in kinematics, researchers and engineers involved in mechanism design will and principles, step-by-step procedures and applications of the geometry of motion explained in detail. The book's focus is the motion control of mechanical devices through the use of kinematic invariants. This unique reference book bridges classic approaches with recent advances in planar kinematics. To emphasize the important role of curvature control in dynamics, the last two chapters are dedicated to the design and analysis of modern types of centrifugal torsional vibration absorbers
