Theory of Machines and Mechanisms John Uicker, Gordon Pennock, Joselph Shigley

Theory of Machines and Mechanisms provides the foundation for the study of displacements, velocities, accelerations, and static and dynamic forces required for the proper design of mechanical linkages, cams, and geared systems. The authors present the background, notation, and nomenclature essential for students to understand the various and independent technical approaches that exist in the field of mechanisms, kinematics, and dynamics. Now fully revised in its fourth edition, this text is ideal for senior undergraduate or graduate students in mechanical engineering who are taking a kinematics and/or machine dynamics course.Features· Offers balanced coverage of all topics by both graphic and analytic methods· Covers all major analytic approaches· Includes an introduction to kinematic coefficients--which clearly separates kinematic (geometric) effects from operating speed and other dynamic dependences--and unifies the coverage of linkages with these coefficients for cams and geared systems· Provides graphical solutions to exercises, now performed by professional CAD software with an accuracy rate of better than one percentNew to this Edition· Includes more worked examples throughout and new and updated end-of-chapter homework problems· Offers new material on synthesis and curvature theory and condenses some subject matter (Chapters 7, 8, and 9 are now a single chapter and Chapters 21, 22, and 23 are now a single chapter)· Two new chapters: Chapter 5 covers multi-degree-of-freedom planar linkages and Chapter 14 discusses dynamic force analysisSupplements· In-text CD includes Working Model animations of key concepts from the book to help students visualize and comprehend the material· Instructor"s CD includes PowerPoint-based slides of figures from the text and solutions worked in MatLab® for selected homework problems from the book· A companion website (http://www.oup.com/us/uickerd) provides additional information and resources Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (John Uicker, Gordon Pennock, Joselph Shigley)
