Analytical Elements of Mechanisms - Marghitu, Dan B. (Auburn University, Alabama) a Crocker, Malcolm J. (Auburn University, Alabama)

Mechanisms are used to transmit forces and to manipulate objects in machinery, robots, automobiles and mechatronics. This book describes methods and algorithms for the analysis of kinematic systems. Its distinctive feature is its focus on the contour equation as a powerful, computationally efficient tool that will help the reader to design complex spatial mechanisms.
