Synopsis:

An introduction to mechanism design providing the theoretical background necessary to apply design and analysis skills in engineering practice. Topics include the fundamentals of modern design; computer-aided design techniques; displacement, velocity, and mechanical advantage analysis methods; acceleration and force analysis techniques; CAM design strategies; gear and gear train design; and kinematic synthesis. Comprises the first of a two-volume set: Volume Two is titled Advanced Mechanism Design: Analysis and Synthesis . This edition (previous editions 1984, 1991) introduces a CD-ROM with some 90 video clips of real mechanisms and computer animation. Includes 22 color images. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

From the Back Cover: This thorough and comprehensive introduction to modern mechanism design focuses on theoretical foundations and on computer implementation and computer-aided design. Exploring all material both graphically and analytically, this book covers kinematics, mechanisms, and dynamics. Graphically-based methods are grouped together followed by analytical and computer-based solutions. This edition includes a CD-ROM with animations of real and computer-generated mechanisms.
