Request a sales quoteTheory of mechanisms is an applied science of mechanics that studies the relationship between geometry, mobility, topology, and relative motion between rigid bodies connected by geometric forms. Recently, knowledge in kinematics and mechanisms has considerably increased, causing a renovation in the methods of kinematic analysis. With the progress of the algebras of kinematics and the mathematical methods used in the optimal solution of polynomial equations, it has become possible to formulate and elegantly solve problems.
Mechanisms: Kinematic Analysis and Applications in Robotics provides an updated approach to kinematic analysis methods and a review of the mobility criteria most used in planar and spatial mechanisms. Applications in the kinematic analysis of robot manipulators complement the material presented in the book, growing in importance when one recognizes that kinematics is a basic area in the control and modeling of robot manipulators.
- Presents an organized review of general mathematical methods and classical concepts of the theory of mechanisms
- Introduces methods approaching time derivatives of arbitrary vectors employing general approaches based on the vector angular velocity concept introduced by Kane and Levinson
- Proposes a strategic approach not only in acceleration analysis but also to jerk analysis in an easy to understand and systematic way
- Explains kinematic analysis of serial and parallel manipulators by means of the theory of screws
Engineers, and Researchers in the fields of mechanical, electrical, and automations engineering, robotics, aeronautics, kinematics, and theory of mechanisms. Undergraduate and graduate students
