Opis

Fundamentals of Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines and Mechanisms bri ngs the subject alive and current. The author's careful integration of Mathematica software gives readers a chance to perform symbolic analy sis, to plot the results, and most importantly, to animate the motion. They get to "play" with the mechanism parameters and immediately see their effects. A CD-ROM packaged with the book contains Mathematica-ba sed programs for suggested design projects. As useful as Mathematica is, however, a tool should not interfere with but enhance one's grasp of the concepts and the development of analytical skills. The author e nsures this with his emphasis on the understanding and application of basic theoretical principles, unified approach to the analysis of plan ar mechanisms, and introduction to vibrations and rotordynamics.
