Contents:
Basics of mechanisms -- Motion control systems -- Stationary and mobile robots -- Mechanisms for renewable power generation -- Linkages: drives and mechanisms -- Gears: devices, drives, and mechanisms -- Cam, geneva, and ratchet drives and mechanisms -- Clutches and brakes -- Latching, fastening, and clamping devices and mechanisms -- Chain and belt devices and mechanisms -- Spring and screw devices and mechanisms -- Shaft couplings and connections -- Motion-specific devices, mechanisms, and machines -- Packaging, conveying, handling, and safety mechanisms and machines -- Torque, speed, tension, and limit control systems -- Instruments and controls: pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, and electronic -- 3D digital prototypes and simulation -- Rapid prototyping -- New directions in mechanical engineering.
Summary: Describes proven mechanisms and mechanical devices. Each illustration represents a design concept that can be recycled for use in new or modified mechanical, electromechanical, or mechatronic products. It contains chapters on mechanisms for converting renewable energy into electrical power, 3D digital prototyping and simulation, progress in MEMS and nanotechnology based on carbon nanotubes, and stationary and mobile robots and their roles in industry, science, national defense, and medicine. The latest advances in rapid prototyping are also discussed.
