Simulations of Machines Using MATLAB and SIMULINK (Bookware Companion Series (Pacific Grove, Calif.).) - Softcover

 
9780534952792: Simulations of Machines Using MATLAB and SIMULINK (Bookware Companion Series (Pacific Grove, Calif.).)

Synopsis

This book is intended as a supplement for undergraduate courses in Kinematics or Dynamics of Mechanisms, taught in Mechanical Engineering departments. As a MATLAB supplement, it can be used with any standard textbook, including Norton's DESIGN OF MACHINERY Second Edition, Erdman/Sandor's MECHANISMS DESIGN, Third Edition, or Mabie/Reinholtz MECHANISMS AND DYNAMICS OF MACHINERY, Fourth Edition. The emphasis of the text is integrating the computational power of MATLAB into the analysis and design of mechanisms. This new book in Brooks/Cole's Bookware Companion Series is the first to apply the use of MATLAB to the study of kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms. This book is intended as a useful guide for readers interested in understanding kinematics, or as a reference for practicing mechanical engineers. It provides detailed instruction and examples showing how to use MATLAB (increasingly, the software program of choice among engineers for complex computations) and its accompanying simulation environment, SIMULINK, to develop powerful and accurate computer simulations of constrained mechanical systems.

About the Author

Dr. John Gardner is Director, CAES Energy Efficiency Research Institute at Boise State University. As a member of the City of Boise Climate Protection Committee and the Boise Public Works Commission, Dr. Gardner has worked on citywide programs to minimize energy consumption through better planning, incentives for efficient design and changes in city operations. He also is a member of the Idaho Power Integrated Resource Plan Advisory Committee, which helps the utility make decisions regarding the evolving needs of customers. In his current work through Boise State's Division of Research, Dr. Gardner deals directly with facilities managers, electric utility representatives, state officials and executives to plan for sustainability programs. As EERI moves forward, he will continue guiding energy research, environmental policy and campus sustainability efforts at Boise State. These efforts have exposed many potential research issues that could be explored and applied more broadly through EERI.
