It is a tool for professors who wish to develop the ability of students to formulate and solve problems involving linkages, cams, gears, robotic manipulators and other mechanisms. There is an emphasis on understanding and utilizing the implications of computed results. Students are expected to explore questions like “What do the results mean?” and “How can you improve the design?”

  • It is a tool for professors who wish to develop the ability of students to formulate and solve problems involving linkages, cams, gears, robotic manipulators and other mechanisms.
  • Coverage of a broad range of machines and mechanisms with practical applications given top consideration.
  • Updated coverage of many topics-Including mechanisms and machines, motion in machinery, velocity and acceleration analysis of mechanisms, design and analysis of cams, gears and drive trains, static and dynamic force analysis, and an introduction to robotic manipulators.
  • Knowledge gained in previous courses is reinforced-For example, matrix methods become meaningful when applied to equations describing velocities and accelerations in a spatial linkage. Computational and analysis skills learned and sharpened in studying kinematics and dynamics of machinery can be carried forward, even to unrelated courses
