This book contains mechanism analysis and synthesis.

In mechanism analysis, a mobility methodology is first systematically presented. This methodology, based on the author's screw theory, proposed in 1997, of which the generality and validitywas onlyproved recently, is a very complex issue, researched by various scientists over the last 150 years. The principle of kinematic influence coefficient and itslatest developments are described. This principleis suitablefor kinematic analysis of various 6-DOF and lower-mobility parallel manipulators. The singularities are classified by a new...

Unified Non-Local Theory of Transport Processess, 2^nd Edition provides a new theory of transport processes in gases, plasmas and liquids. It is shown that the well-known Boltzmann equation, which is the basis of the classical kinetic theory, is incorrect in the definite sense. Additional terms need to be added leading to a dramatic change in transport theory. The result is a strict theory of turbulence and the possibility to calculate turbulent flows from the first principles of physics.

The Physics of Music and Color deals with two subjects, music and color - sound and light in the physically objective sense - in a single volume. The basic underlying physical principles of the two subjects overlap greatly: both music and color are manifestations of wave phenomena, and commonalities exist as to the production, transmission, and detection of sound and light. This book aids readers in studying both subjects, which involve nearly the entire gamut of the fundamental laws of classical as well as modern physics. Where traditional introductory physics and courses are styled so...

Systems with mechanical degrees of freedom containing unstable objects are analysed in this monograph and algorithms for their control are developed, discussed, and numerically tested. This is achieved by identifying unstable modes of motion and using all available resources to suppress them.

These systems are models for pendula and vehicles and find applications in mechatronics, robotics as well as in mechanical and automotive engineering.
