Opis

This text aims to provide a bridge for those moving from either an engineering or physics background towards the challenges offered by ultraprecision mechanisms. Using case study examples, this book provides a guide to basic techniques and gives technical, analytical and practical information.

Spis treści

Introductory mechanics; fundamental concepts in precision design; flexure design for positioning and control; drive couplings and the mechanics of contact; actuators and sensors for controlled displacements; materials selection in precision mechanical design; sideways for long range precision motion; the dynamics of instrument mechanisms.
