| NEW TO THIS EDITION Scripted Matlab simulations will be added to the book's Website, with direct tie-in to the text.
MEMS and compliant mechanism coverage is included in Chapter 2.
Working Model 2D v5.2, the latest release, is provided to users on the book's CD ROM, along with a set of Working Model simulations. FEATURESPart I of the text is suitable for a one-semester or one-term course in kinematics; Part II is suitable for a one-semester or one-term course in dynamics of machinery.
Designed to be clear, informal, and easy to read for the student.
A more complete, modern, and thorough treatment of cam design than existing texts on this subject.
Emphasizes design of machines as well as the analysis of existing machines.
Detailed example problems are spelled out both verbally and graphically.
Provides up-to-date methods and techniques for analysis and synthesis. Presents vector mathematical and matrix solution methods for analysis of both kinematics and dynamics topics.
Emphasizes the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis of engineering problems. |
