Synopsis

With over 25 years of outstanding research contributions and teaching experiences, Kenneth Waldron and Gary Kinzel provide a modern approach to the study of mechanisms and machines. The text reflects their unique backgrounds and provides an integrated treatment of a set of seemingly diverse topics, such as planar mechanisms, spatial mechanisms and robotics. Their emphasis on both analytical and graphical methods sets the stage so that students can readily transform problems into computer algorithms. Building on the success of the previous edition, the Second Edition continues to use the vector approach for both analysis and synthesis, and provides a solid theoretical background in kinematic principles coupled with practical examples.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Clear principles, practical problems and MATLAB programs all under one cover!

Offering a modern approach to the study of mechanisms and machines, Kenneth Waldron and Gary Kinzel s Second Edition of KINEMATICS, DYNAMICS, AND DESIGN OF MACHINERY presents comprehensive, authoritative coverage of a wide variety of topics, ranging from planar linkage design to spatial mechanisms and robotics. With this text, you ll be able to develop the solid theoretical background and practical knowledge you need to solve real–world problems.

Here s how Waldron and Kinzel s approach works:

• Graphical and analytical methods: The authors introduce analysis using the vector approach, and then present spatial mechanisms using both vectors and matrices.
• A separate chapter on simple mechanisms: Chapter 2 now covers the analysis of linkages with simple revolute and sliding joints, and serves as an introduction to velocities and accelerations.
• Tables of equations for easy references: The text develops background equations and then summarizes them in handy tables. These tables allow you to easily program the equations for most mechanisms of interest.
• Modern software tools: Most of the procedures in the book are covered with MATLAB programs.
• Real–world problems: Practical problems allow you to apply the basic principles to realistic situations.
