Fully revised throughout, this abundantly illustrated reference describes proven mechanisms and mechanical devices. Each illustration represents a design concept that can easily be recycled for use in new or modified mechanical, electromechanical, or mechatronic products. Tutorials on the basics of mechanisms and motion control systems introduce you to those subjects or act as a refresher. This edition also contains new chapters on mechanisms for converting renewable energy into electrical power, 3D digital prototyping and simulation, and progress in MEMS and nanotechnology based on carbon nanotubes. Also, a new chapter on stationary and mobile robots describes their roles in industry, science, national defense, and medicine. The latest advances in rapidprototyping are also discussed. This practical guide will explain many classical mechanical devices as well as the hot new topics in mechanical engineering. -- from Back Cover - Blackwell North Amer
The fourth edition of this invention-inspiring engineering resource covers the past, present, and future of mechanisms and mechanical devices. You'll find drawings and descriptions of more than 2000 components that have proven themselves over time and can be incorporated into the very latest mechanical, electromechanical, and mechatronic products and systems. Overviews of robotics, rapid prototyping, HEMS, and nanotechnology, along with tutorial chapters on the basics of mechanisms and motion control, will bring you up-to-speed quickly on these cutting-edge topics. - McGraw Hill
Over 2000 drawings make this sourcebook a gold mine of information for learning and innovating in mechanical design
