2nd Edition

Kinematics and Dynamics of Mechanical Systems: Implementation in MATLAB® and SimMechanics®, Second Edition
combines the fundamentals of mechanism kinematics, synthesis, statics
and dynamics with real-world applications, and offers step-by-step
instruction on the kinematic, static, and dynamic analyses and synthesis
of equation systems. Written for students with no working knowledge of
MATLAB and SimMechanics, the text provides understanding of static and
dynamic mechanism analysis, and moves beyond conventional kinematic
concepts―factoring in adaptive programming, 2D and 3D visualization, and
simulation, and equips readers with the ability to analyze and design
mechanical systems. This latest edition presents all of the breadth and
depth as the past edition, but with updated theoretical content and much
improved integration of MATLAB and SimMechanics in the text examples.
Features:
- Fully integrates MATLAB and SimMechanics with treatment of kinematics and machine dynamics
- Revised to modify all 300 end-of-chapter problems, with new solutions available for instructors
- Formulated static & dynamic load equations, and MATLAB files, to include gravitational acceleration
- Adds coverage of gear tooth forces and torque equations for straight bevel gears
- Links text examples directly with a library of MATLAB and SimMechanics files for all users
