Kinematics, Dynamics, and Design of Machinery introduces spatial mechanisms using both vectors and matrices, which introduces the topic from two vantage points. It is an excellent refresher on the kinematics and dynamics of machinery. The book provides a solid theoretical background in kinematics principles coupled with practical examples, and presents analytical techniques without complex mathematics in the design of mechanical devices.· Graphical Position, Velocity and Acceleration Analysis for Mechanisms with Revolute Joints or Fixed Slides · Linkages with Rolling and Sliding Contacts and Joints On Moving Sliders · Instant Centers of Velocity · Analytical Linkage Analysis · Planar Linkage Design · Special Mechanisms · Profile Cam Design · Spatial Linkage Analysis · Spur Gears · Helical, Bevel, and Worm Gears · Gear Trains · Static Force Analysis of Mechanisms · Dynamic Force Analysis · Shaking Forces and Balancing

This text provides information on the design of machinery. It presents vector mathematical and matrix solution methods for analysis of both kinetic and dynamic analysis topics, and emphasizes the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis of engineering problems. The author aims to convey the art of the design process in order to prepare students to successfully tackle genuine engineering problems encountered in practice. The book also emphasizes the synthesis and design aspects of the subject with analytical synthesis of linkages covered and cam design is given a thorough and practical treatment.

The study of the kinematics and dynamics of machines lies at the very core of a mechanical engineering background. Although tremendous advances have been made in the computational and design tools now available, little has changed in the way the subject is presented, both in the classroom and in professional references. Fundamentals of Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines and Mechanisms brings the subject alive and current. The author's careful integration of Mathematica software gives readers a chance to perform symbolic analysis, to plot the results, and most importantly, to animate the motion. They get to "play" with the mechanism parameters and immediately see their effects. The downloadable resources contain Mathematica-based programs for suggested design projects. As useful as Mathematica is, however, a tool should not interfere with but enhance one's grasp of the concepts and the development of analytical skills. The author ensures this with his emphasis on the understanding and application of basic theoretical principles, unified approach to the analysis of planar mechanisms, and introduction to vibrations and rotordynamics.

Kinematic and dynamic analysis are crucial to the design of mechanism and machines. In this student-friendly text, Martin presents the fundamental principles of these important disciplines in as simple a manner as possible, favoring basic theory over special constructions. Among the areas covered are the equivalent four-bar linkage; rotating vector treatment for analyzing multi-cylinder engines; and critical speeds, including torsional vibration of shafts. The book also describes methods used to manufacture disk cams, and it discusses mathematical methods for calculating the cam profile, the pressure angle, and the locations of the cam. This book is an excellent choice for courses in kinematics of machines, dynamics of machines, and machine design and vibrations.

This book covers the kinematics and dynamics of machinery topics. It emphasizes the synthesis and design aspects and the use of computer-aided engineering. A sincere attempt has been made to convey the art of the design process to students in order to prepare them to cope with real engineering problems in practice. This book provides up-to-date methods and techniques for analysis and synthesis that take full advantage of the graphics microcomputer by emphasizing design as well as analysis. In addition, it details a more complete, modern, and thorough treatment of cam design than existing texts in print on the subject. The author’s website at www.designofmachinery.com has updates, the author’s computer programs and the author’s PowerPoint lectures exclusively for professors who adopt the book. Features Student-friendly computer programs written for the design and analysis of mechanisms and machines. Downloadable computer programs from website Unstructured, realistic design problems and solutions

The concept of moving machine members during a thermodynamic cycle and the variation of displacements, velocities and accelerations forms the subject of kinematics.The study of forces that make the motion is the subject of kinetics; combining these two subjects leads to dynamics of machinery. When we include the machinery aspects such as links, kinematic chains, and mechanisms to form a given machine we have the subject of Theory of Machines. Usually this subject is introduced as a two-semester course, where kinematics and kinetics are taught simultaneously with thermodynamics or heat engines before progressing to the design of machine members. This book provides the material for first semester of a Theory of Machines- course. Th is book brings in the machine live onto the screen and explains the theory of machines concepts through animations and introduces how the problems are solved in industry to present a complete history in the shortest possible time rather than using graphical (or analytical) methods. Thus the students are introduced to the concepts through visual means which brings industrial applications by the end of the two semester program closer, and equips them better for design courses. The International Federation for promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (IFToMM) has developed standard nomenclature and notation on Mechanism and Machine Science and this book adopts these standards so that any communication between scientists and in the classrooms across the world can make use of the same terminology. This book adopts HyperWorks MotionSolve to perform the analysis and visualizations, though the book can be used independent of the requirement of any particular software. However, having this software helps in further studies and analysis. The avis can be seen by entering the ISBN of this book at the Springer Extras website at extras.springer.com
