About this title

Synopsis

This up-to-date book responds to the overwhelming need for an introduction to kinematic analysis that uses actual machines and mechanisms. It provides the techniques necessary to study the motion of machines while emphasizing the application of kinematic theories to real-world problems, and the application of motion and force analysis using direct methods. Chapter topics cover an introduction to mechanism and kinematics, building computer models of mechanisms using Working Model® software, vectors, position analysis, mechanism design, velocity analysis, acceleration analysis, computer-aided mechanism analysis, cams: design and kinematic analysis, gears: kinematic analysis and selection, belt and chain drives, screw mechanisms, static force analysis, and dynamic force analysis. For machine designers and design engineers.

From the Back Cover

Machines and Mechanisms: Applied Kinematic Analysis, Second Edition, applies kinematic theories, both graphical and analytical, to real-world machines. It is intended to bridge the gap between a theoretical study of kinematics and the application to practical mechanisms.

This text meets the need for an introduction to kinematic analysis that uses actual machines and mechanisms. The objective of this book (consistent with the philosophy of engineering and technology programs) is to provide the techniques necessary to study the motion of machines while emphasizing the application of kinematic theories to real-world machines.

Distinctive features of this book include:

• Case studies at the end of every chapter illustrate a mechanism used on industrial equipment and help students to see the practical application of the material they are studying.
• Focus on the application of every chapter illustrate a mechanism used on equipment and help students the practical application of the material they are studying.
• Introduces students to modern tools of the trade through suggestions for implementing the graphical techniques on computer-aided design (CAD) systems and suggestions for using programmable devices (calculators, spreadsheets, math software, etc.) for analytical solution procedures
