Features: This book consists of 15 chapters and two appendices, primarily introducing methods for analyzing planar mechanisms (structural analysis, kinematic analysis, dynamic analysis), characteristics and motion design methods of common mechanisms (linkage mechanisms, cam mechanisms, gear mechanisms, intermittent motion mechanisms), methods for mechanical dynamic design (balancing design, flywheel design, mechanism parameter design to improve efficiency), methods for designing mechanical system schemes (actuation system, transmission system), and methods for evaluating these schemes. It briefly introduces the characteristics and applications of other common mechanisms, spatial mechanisms, and various principle-combining mechanisms. Appendix A provides the content and topics for the course design, while Appendix B offers descriptions of the supplementary teaching and design software that accompanies this book. Each major chapter includes a number of exercises. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate engineering majors in mechanical disciplines at universities and colleges, as well as a reference for faculty, students, and engineering professionals in related fields.
