Mechanics of Machinery


Book Description

Mechanics of Machinery describes the analysis of machines, covering both the graphical and analytical methods for examining the kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms with low and high pairs. This text, developed and updated from a version published in 1973, includes analytical analysis for all topics discussed, allowing for the use of math software for fast, precise analysis. The chapters include the following: • Introduction of various mechanisms—such as four-revolute-pairs chain, double-slider, and compound mechanisms—and their motions and functions, with analytical analysis of each one • Velocities and accelerations in mechanisms, using graphical and analytical analysis • Analysis of sliding links using a theory developed by the author, which replaces the Coriolis component and is generally easier to apply • Discussion of cams, with an emphasis on factors affecting cam design, such as the pressure angle and the radius of curvature • The geometry and kinematics of a wide range of gears • Force analysis in mechanisms—namely, static force, friction force, and dynamic force analysis • Balancing machines, specifically rotating parts and reciprocating parts, as well as in-place balancing using vibration measurements A reference for both students and professionals in mechanical engineering, this informative text offers a deeper understanding of kinematics and related applications. It also supplies the fundamentals to enable readers to apply procedures to problems they may encounter in the future.




Mechanics of Machines


Book Description

"Emphasizes the industrial relevance of the subject matter, dispenses with conventional inaccurate graphical methods used in Kinematics of plane mechanisms, cams and balancing. Instead presents general vector approach for both plane and space mechanisms."--BOOK JACKET.




Mechanics of Machines


Book Description

Mechanics of Machines is designed for undergraduate courses in kinematics and dynamics of machines. It covers the basic concepts of gears, gear trains, the mechanics of rigid bodies, and graphical and analytical kinematic analyses of planar mechanisms. In addition, the text describes aprocedure for designing disc cam mechanisms, discusses graphical and analytical force analyses and balancing of planar mechanisms, and illustrates common methods for the synthesis of mechanisms. Each chapter concludes with a selection of problems of varying length and difficulty. SI Units and USCustomary Units are employed. An appendix presents twenty-six design projects based on practical, real-world engineering situations. These may be ideally solved using Working Model software.




Mechanics of Mechanisms and Machines


Book Description

Mechanics of Mechanisms and Machines provides a practical approach to machine statics, kinematics, and dynamics for undergraduate and graduate students and mechanical engineers. The text uses a novel method for computation of mechanism and robot joint positions, velocities, accelerations; and dynamics and statics using matrices, graphs, and generation of independent equations from a matroid form. The computational methods presented can be used for industrial and commercial robotics applications where accurate and quick mechanism/robot control is key. The book includes many examples of linkages, cams, and geared mechanisms, both planar and spatial types, having open or multiple cycles. Features • Presents real-world examples to help in the design process of planar and spatial mechanisms • Serves as a practical guide for the design of new products using mechanical motion analysis • Analyzes many applications for gear trains and auto transmissions, robotics and manipulation, and the emerging field of biomechanics • Presents novel matrix computational methods, ideal for the development of efficient computer implementations of algorithms for control or simulation of mechanical linkages, cams, and geared mechanisms • Includes mechanism animations and result data tables as well as comparisons between matrix-based equation results implemented using Engineering Equation Solver (EES) and results for the same mechanisms simulated using SolidWorks.




Mechanics of Machines


Book Description

Industries that use machines in their day-to-day operations include power, automobile, steel, and chemical plants sectors, to mention just a few. As these industries' services evolve, their machines must also evolve. To design these machines, you must understand both their performance requirements and the physical concepts governing their motion. Emphasizing the industrial relevance of the subject matter, Mechanics of Machines provides the fundamental information students need to decide on the criteria for designing new machines and for analyzing the root cause of problems arising out of malfunctioning of existing equipment.




Mechanics of Machines


Book Description

This college text presents a modern, computer-oriented, systematic approach to the analysis of single and multiple degree of freedom linkages, cam systems, gear trains, and other mechanisms. The concepts of position loop equations, velocity coefficients, and velocity coefficient derivatives are used effectively throughout. The formulation of machine dynamics is fully developed and several machinery simulations are included. The principle of virtual work is presented, first in terms of machinery statics and then in regard to machine dynamics. Ten Appendices cover a variety of topics including matrix algebra, the Newton-Raphson method, numerical solution of differential equations, and the calculation of geometric properties for irregular areas.

Machines and Mechanisms


Book Description

Provides the techniques necessary to study the motion of machines, and emphasizes the application of kinematic theories to real-world machines consistent with the philosophy of engineering and technology programs. This book intents to bridge the gap between a theoretical study of kinematics and the application to practical mechanism.
