THOUSANDS OF DRAWINGS AND DESCRIPTIONS COVER
INNOVATIONS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
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.
Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices
Sourcebook, Fifth Edition, 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.
A new chapter on stationary and mobile robots
describes their roles in industry, science, national defense, and medicine.
The latest advances in rapid prototyping are also
discussed.
This practical guide will get you up to speed on
many classical mechanical devices as well as the hot new topics in mechanical
engineering.
