Machine Design

From this textbook, readers learn how to design and analyze the most common 2D and 3D mechanical systems in terms of motion, speed, and force. Using the commercial mathematical software package MATLAB and its mechanical system modeling and simulation module SimMechanics, this textbook enables reader..

The most difficult problem most mechanical designers face at the conceptual design phase is the creation of design alternatives. This book introduces a unique methodology for systematic creation and classification of mechanisms. With an approach that is partly analytical and partly algorithmic, the ..

Nonlinear Problems in Machine Design provides training and experience with the modern analytical methods of machine design and enables readers to use those methods in daily applications. The authors first build the theoretical foundation, then focus on the application of the finite element method to..

A collation of the authors’ latest research, this book focuses on control applications that use piezoelectric actuators and sensors. They provide practical examples of engineering applications, such as flexible structures, flexible robotic manipulators, fine motion control, hydraulic control, and sh..

This text explains vessel manufacture and procedures for quality assurance and control, methods for code specification compliance, all stages of the manufacturing process, and promotes uniformity of inspection, testing, and documentation. Analyzing radiographic testing procedures, the book acts as a..

Rotordynamics advances simple yet adequate models of phenomena taking place in the rotor and its environment. Based on the author’s extensive work at Bently Rotordynamics Research Corporation, world-renowned for its innovative and groundbreaking experiments in the field, this book provides realistic..

Aiming to improve work efficiency in such areas as tillage in agriculture, earth-moving in civil engineering, and tunnel-making in sea-bed operations, this work offers an introduction to Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis of soil-machine systems. It explains the advantage of FEM's numerical approa..

This practical reference offers state-of-the-art coverage of speckle metrology and its value as a measuring technique in industry.;Examing every important aspect of the field, Speckle Metrology: surveys the origin of speckle displacement and decorrelation; presents procedures for deformation analysi..

This book systematically develops a scientific theory of gearing for engineers and researchers involved in gear design, analysis, and manufacture. The theory is based on a simple postulate: all the design parameters for an optimal gear pair for a particular application can be derived from (a) the ro..
