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
The third edition of Kinematics, Dynamics, and Design of Machinery has been comprehensively reorganized to emphasize the design of mechanisms before analysis. To facilitate the design emphasis, the authors have introduced the relatively new concept of Graphical Constraint Programming (GCP) in the second chapter of the book.
