Description
This is the fifth edition of a one-of-a-kind engineering reference book covering the past, present, and future of mechanisms and mechanical devices. It includes clear illustrations and straightforward descriptions of specific subjects rather than the theory and mathematics found in most engineering textbooks. You will find that this book contains hundreds of detailed line drawings that will hold your interest regardless of your backgroundin mechanical engineering. The text accompanying the illustrations is intended to help you to understand the basic concepts of subjects that may or may not be familiar to you.
You will find drawings and illustrations that are simply interesting and informative and perhaps others that could spur your creativity and prompt you to recycle them into your new designs or redesigns. They may offer solutions you had not previously considered
because they were not visible inside contemporary products unless the product is disassembled. Solid state electronics and computer circuitry have displaced many earlier mechanical solutions, no doubt improving product reliability and efficiency while reducing
their price.
This fifth edition contains three new chapters: Chapter 3, Stationary and Mobile Robots, Chapter 4, Mechanisms for Renewable Power Generation, and Chapter 17, 3D Digital Prototypes and Simulation. Chapter 18, Rapid Prototyping, has been updated and completely
revised, and new articles have been added to Chapters 5 through 16 that make up the archival core of the book. Five new articles have been added to Chapter 13, Motion- Specific Devices, Mechanisms, and Machines, which is part of the archival core. Also, five
new articles have been added to Chapter 19, New Directions in Mechanical Engineering.
