Kinematics and Dynamics of Machinery (Dekker Mechanical Engineering)

This work explains the automated analysis and synthesis of multibody systems, providing practical and appropriate techniques, methods of solution, and examinations of software. It evaluates and compares current approaches to the kinematics and dynamics of multibody systems, including computational complexity, from a unified structural equivalence point of view. A 3.5 IBM-compatible disk, containing software and source codes for the solution of both the kinematics and dynamics of multibody systems, is included.;College or university bookstores may order five or more copies at a special student price, available upon request from Marcel Dekker, Inc.
