Kinematics Dynamics and Design of Machinery | Second Edition | Kenneth J. Waldron | Gary L. Kinzel, The potential to improve those elements of the material that have
been found in the classroom to fall short of the writers' original goal is
always available in the second edition of a textbook. This is the case with
this edition. Our goal of creating a teaching tool that provides a clear
presentation of fundamental concepts while yet has enough depth and rigour to
serve as a foundation for more advanced study has not altered. We have,
however, been listening to those who have used this work as students and
teachers. We endeavored to address their primary themes in this new edition.
The structural alteration is one of the most significant. We've
split the "superchapter," which was Chapter 2 in the first edition,
into three new chapters, each with additional explanatory content. This
adjustment is meant to make the transition to the more mathematical portion of
the curriculum easier for the students.
In circumstances where many frames are not required, we have also
removed the superscript notation for distinguishing reference frames. This
means that in the new Chapter 2's introductory chapter on graphical analysis
techniques, the superscript notation is not used. The superscript notation is
kept for instances where many moving reference frames must be kept track of,
but it is presented later after pupils have established some confidence in
their basic approaches.
The introduction to algebraic solution approaches, which is now
Chapter 5, has been rearranged to enable a more seamless transition into the
subject. When the superscript notation for reference frames is no longer
needed, it has been removed once more.
In several places throughout the text, we've added a considerable
number of new problems and worked examples. Some open-ended design issues are
among the additional issues.
Bearings and actuation sections have been added to Chapter I,
providing a stronger relationship to practical engineering in which mechanisms
must not only have the correct dimensions, but also move freely throughout lengthy
service lives and be driven.
The design chapter (Chapter 6) has been updated to include two-position double rocker designs. There are both graphical and analytical methodologies offered. The design of eight-link systems that guide a coupler along a path in curvilinear motion has been added to the section on path generation. The section on crank-rocker designs has also been updated.
Finally, Kenneth Waldron and Gary Kinzel present a new perspective
to the study of mechanisms and machines, with over 25 years of great research
contributions and teaching experiences. The text represents their different
backgrounds and offers an integrated study of a variety of topics, including
planar mechanisms, spatial mechanisms, and robotics. Students will be able to easily
turn issues into computer algorithms because to their emphasis on both
analytical and graphical methods. The Second Edition builds on the popularity
of the first edition by continuing to use the vector technique for both
analysis and synthesis, as well as providing a solid theoretical foundation in
kinematic concepts, as well as practical applications.
