Kinematics, Dynamics and Design of Machinery

Description

Kinematics, Dynamics, and Design of Machinery introduces spatial mechanisms using both vectors and matrices, which introduces the topic from two vantage points. It is an excellent refresher on the kinematics and dynamics of machinery. The book provides a solid theoretical background in kinematics’ principles coupled with practical examples, and presents analytical techniques without complex mathematics in the design of mechanical devices. · Graphical Position, Velocity and Acceleration Analysis for Mechanisms with Revolute Joints or Fixed Slides · Linkages with Rolling and Sliding Contacts and Joints On Moving Sliders · Instant Centers of Velocity · Analytical Linkage Analysis · Planar Linkage Design · Special Mechanisms · Profile Cam Design · Spatial Linkage Analysis · Spur Gears · Helical, Bevel, and Worm Gears · Gear Trains · Static Force Analysis of Mechanisms · Dynamic Force Analysis · Shaking Forces and Balancing
