Features: This book is revised based on the previous five editions, according to the teaching basic requirements for the Mechanical Principles course in mechanical engineering programs of engineering colleges, as well as many years of teaching practice and the needs of China's mechanical industry development. The book consists of 14 chapters, including Introduction, Structural Analysis of Mechanisms, Kinematic and Force Analysis of Planar Mechanisms, Efficiency and Self-Locking of Machines, Machine Balancing, Dynamic Rotation and Speed Waveform Regulation of Machines, Planar Linkage Mechanisms and Their Design, Cam Mechanisms and Their Design, Gear Mechanisms and Their Design, Gear Trains and Their Design, Other Common Mechanisms, Industrial Robot Manipulator Mechanisms and Their Design, and Design of Mechanical Transmission System Schemes. A certain number of review questions and exercises are provided at the end of each chapter. This revision expands the types of mechanisms and the introduction of related knowledge, strengthens the connection with practical applications in mechanical engineering, while appropriately simplifying topics such as gear mechanisms, kinematic and force analysis of mechanisms. This book can serve as a textbook for mechanical engineering programs in universities and colleges, as well as a reference for teachers, students, and engineering professionals in related fields.
