Mechanism Design: Analysis and Synthesis

<P style="MARGIN: 0px"> <B> </B>This thorough and comprehensive web-enhanced edition has been updated and enhanced — No other book has a web connection like this one! The software associated with the book makes it very useful for designing and analyzing linkage and CAM mechanisms. Web-enhanced features include <B>ADAMSâ„¢ software,</B> over 200 animated movie files of mechanisms and machines, and a new CAM design package. <B>- </B> <U>To find out more about MSC.Adams® software and how it can be used to complement the use of this text</U>, please visit www.mscsoftware.com/university or send an email to [email protected] . <B> </B> New material includes coverage of type synthesis, robot grippers, and curvature cognates, while retaining coverage of traditional material with a significant treatment of kinematic synthesis. All material is explored both graphically and analytically — Graphical methods are used to fully explain basic principles. Features in-depth and rigorous discussions on displacement and velocity analysis; acceleration and force analysis; and cam design. <B> </B> For professionals interested in Kinematics, Mechanisms, and Dynamics. </P>
