Mechanisms are fundamental components of machines. They are used to transmit forces and manipulate objects in industrial machinery, robots, automobiles, mechatronic devices, and biomechanical systems. This book describes methods and algorithms for the analysis of kinematic systems essential for mechanism design and control. Its distinctive feature is its focus on the contour equation as a powerful, computationally efficient tool that will help the reader to design complex spatial...
More DescriptionMechanisms are fundamental components of machines. They are used to transmit forces and manipulate objects in industrial machinery, robots, automobiles, mechatronic devices, and biomechanical systems. This book describes methods and algorithms for the analysis of kinematic systems essential for mechanism design and control. Its distinctive feature is its focus on the contour equation as a powerful, computationally efficient tool that will help the reader to design complex spatial mechanisms. The book will be useful for students, researchers, and practicing engineers working in robotics, vehicle dynamics, mechatronics, and machine design.
