Features: This book is written to meet the needs of computer-based laboratory sessions and course design in the subject of "Mechanics of Machines." On one hand, it provides a wide range of materials and guidance for using computers to conduct mechanism analysis and design; on the other hand, it offers various types of mechanisms and design requirements for course design. This book, along with the textbook "Mechanics of Machines" authored by Professor Wang Hongxin of China University of Mining and Technology and the "Computer Multimedia Courseware for Mechanics of Machines" developed by Wang Hongxin and others (published by Southeast University Press), forms a complete set of teaching and learning materials for the "Mechanics of Machines" course. The book is divided into 7 chapters, including: Design and Analysis of Basic Mechanisms, Analysis of Planar Six-Bar Mechanisms, Approximate Constant-Ratio Planar Six-Bar Mechanisms, Planar Six-Bar Mechanisms with Dwell, Planetary Gears and Composite Mechanisms, Gear-Linkage Composite Mechanisms, and Object-Oriented Technology for Mechanism Animation. In the "Computer Multimedia Courseware for Mechanics of Machines" CD-ROM, object-oriented mechanism animation and some reference source programs are provided. This book can serve as a supplementary textbook for mechanical engineering majors in universities and colleges, as well as a reference for teachers and engineering professionals in related fields.
