About this title

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.

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.
