Kinematics, Dynamics, and Design of Machinery, Third Edition, presents a fresh approach to kinematic design and analysis and is an ideal textbook for senior undergraduates and graduates in mechanical, automotive and production engineering Presents the traditional approach to the design and analysis of kinematic problems and shows how GCP can be used to solve the same problems more simply Provides a new and simpler approach to cam design Includes an increased number of exercise problems Accompanied by a website hosting a solutions manual, teaching slides and MATLAB® programs
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
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.
Kinematics and Dynamics of Mechanical Systems: Implementation in MATLAB® and SimMechanics®, Second Edition combines the fundamentals of mechanism kinematics, synthesis, statics and dynamics with real-world applications, and offers step-by-step instruction on the kinematic, static, and dynamic analyses and synthesis of equation systems. Written for students with no knowledge of MATLAB and SimMechanics, the text provides understanding of static and dynamic mechanism analysis, and moves beyond conventional kinematic concepts—factoring in adaptive programming, 2D and 3D visualization, and simulation, and equips readers with the ability to analyze and design mechanical systems.
A planar or two-dimensional (2D) mechanism is the combination of two or more machine elements that are designed to convey a force or motion across parallel planes. For any mechanical engineer, young or old, an understanding of planar mechanism design is fundamental. Mechanical components and complex machines, such as engines or robots, are often designed and conceptualised in 2D before being extended into 3D. Designed to encourage a clear understanding of the nature and design of planar mechanisms, this book favours a frank and straightforward approach to teaching the basics of planar mechanism design and the theory of machines with fully worked examples throughout. Key Features: Provides simple instruction in the design and analysis of planar mechanisms, enabling the student to easily navigate the text and find the desired material Covers topics of fundamental importance to mechanical engineering, from planar mechanism kinematics, 2D linkage analyses and 2D linkage design to the fundamentals of spur gears and cam design Shows numerous example solutions using EES (Engineering Equation Solver) and MATLAB software, with appendices dedicated to explaining the use of both computer tools Follows end-of-chapter problems with clearly detailed solutions
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
Incorporating Chinese, European, and International standards and units of measurement, this book presents a classic subject in an up-to-date manner with a strong emphasis on failure analysis and prevention-based machine element design. It presents concepts, principles, data, analyses, procedures, and decision-making techniques necessary to design safe, efficient, and workable machine elements. Design-centric and focused, the book will help students develop the ability to conceptualize designs from written requirements and to translate these design concepts into models and detailed manufacturing drawings. Presents a consistent approach to the design of different machine elements from failure analysis through strength analysis and structural design, which facilitates students’ understanding, learning, and integration of analysis with design Fundamental theoretical topics such as mechanics, friction, wear and lubrication, and fluid mechanics are embedded in each chapter to illustrate design in practice Includes examples, exercises, review questions, design and practice problems, and CAD examples in each self-contained chapter to enhance learning Analysis and Design of Machine Elements is a design-centric textbook for advanced undergraduates majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Advanced students and engineers specializing in product design, vehicle engineering, power machinery, and engineering will also find it a useful reference and practical guide.
