Theory of Machines

An app for all the Theory of Machines Knowledge

Theory of Machine is a Resource to learn the complete Concepts related to the Theory of Machines Field which deals with the study of relative motion between the various parts of a machine, and forces which act on them. The knowledge of this subject is very essential for an engineer in designing the various parts of a machine.
