About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The book reviews the algebra, trigonometry, and basic calculus students need to be successful in solving problems. Next, a review of kinematics and Newton's laws are discussed, and numerous examples are solved. Mechanisms include the slider crank, offset slider crank, gears and gear trains, belts and chains, and cams. A graphical and analytical approach is taken when covering slider crank mechanisms. The book uses vectors and Kennedy's theorem to solve a variety of included examples. Gears and gear trains as well as belts and chains are discussed. Finally, cams using graphical and analytical techniques are introduced. The concluding chapter gives multiple projects used in the class to capture the lectures and computer modeling using Excel and MATLAB.

About this title

Synopsis

The book reviews the algebra, trigonometry, and basic calculus students need to be successful in solving problems. Next, a review of kinematics and Newton’s laws are discussed, and numerous examples are solved. Mechanisms include the slider crank, offset slider crank, gears and gear trains, belts and chains, and cams. A graphical and analytical approach is taken when covering slider crank mechanisms. The book uses vectors and Kennedy's theorem to solve a variety of included examples. Gears and gear trains as well as belts and chains are discussed. Finally, cams using graphical and analytical techniques are introduced. The concluding chapter gives multiple projects used in the class to capture the lectures and computer modeling using Excel and MATLAB.

About the Author

Anthony D’Angelo, Jr. is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of New Jersey and holds a B.S. and an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and a MBA from Rutgers University. He retired after 39 years of professional experience in government and industry conducting structural, thermal, and reliability analyses and authored or co-authored nine papers in the area of reliability-based design analysis and systems engineering. The author presently is conducting research, pursuing a Ph.D. in systems engineering from Colorado State University, on developing a reliability-risk modeling-based trade study tool. In addition, he is a full-time instructor at Raritan Valley Community College and has taught numerous courses in machine design, statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, mechanisms, and material science.
