Features: This book is divided into eleven chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the current status, trends, and main research contents of kinematics; Chapter 2 introduces the common mathematical foundations used in kinematics; Chapter 3 covers the structural principles of mechanisms, spatial mechanisms, and the calculation of degrees of freedom for open-chain mechanisms, as well as mechanism synthesis; Chapter 4 discusses the motion analysis methods for planar and spatial mechanisms; Chapter 5 focuses on mechanism synthesis, covering the synthesis of rigid-body guiding mechanisms, trajectory-generating mechanisms, and function-generating mechanisms; Chapter 6 introduces the basic theories and knowledge of planar higher-pair mechanisms; Chapter 7 covers the basic knowledge of robotic mechanisms; Chapter 8 introduces the basic knowledge of bionic mechanisms; Chapters 9, 10, and 11 are dedicated to mechanism dynamics, discussing the dynamics of linkages with elastic elements, cam mechanisms, the balancing of mechanisms, and the dynamics of mechanical systems. This book can serve as a graduate-level textbook for mechanical design and theory disciplines in higher engineering schools, as well as an elective textbook for senior undergraduate students in mechanical engineering.
