Publisher Summary 1
Previous editions of this introductory text came with a disk or a CD-ROM; the new edition includes a password-protected Web site offering access to ADAMS software, some 200 simulations explaining basic concepts and applications, a new cam synthesis program, problems and tutorials, student projects, and case studies. Erdman (mechanical engineering, U. of Minnesota) provides enough theoretical background so that students can understand and apply design and analysis skills to engineering practice. Coverage encompasses kinematics and mechanisms, the mechanism design process, gears and gear trains, and kinematic synthesis. This fourth edition contains new material on type synthesis and robot grippers, and new sections on dynamics, with problems sets for ADAMS. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Publisher Summary 2
This thorough and comprehensive web-enhanced edition has been updated and enhanced 鈥?No other book has a web connection like this one! The software associated with the book makes it very useful for designing and analyzing linkage and CAM mechanisms. Web-enhanced features include ADAMS鈩?software,over 200 animated movie files of mechanisms and machines, and a new CAM design package. - To find out more about MSC.Adams庐 software and how it can be used to complement the use of this text, please visit www.mscsoftware.com/universityor send an email to university@mscsoftware.com. New material includes coverage of type synthesis, robot grippers, and curvature cognates, while retaining coverage of traditional material with a significant treatment of kinematic synthesis. All material is explored both graphically and analytically 鈥?Graphical methods are used to fully explain basic principles. Features in-depth and rigorous discussions on displacement and velocity analysis; acceleration and force analysis; and cam design. For professionals interested in Kinematics, Mechanisms, and Dynamics.
