Mechanisms and Robots Analysis with MATLAB

Аннотация

Mechanisms and robots have been and continue to be essential components of mechanical systems. Mechanisms and robots are used to transmit forces and moments and to manipulate objects. A knowledge of the kinematics and dynamics of these kinematic chains is most important for their design and control. MATLAB R is a modern tool that has transformed the mathematical calculations methods because MATLAB not only provides numerical calculations but also facilitates analytical calculations using the computer. The present textbook uses MATLAB as a tool to solve problems from mechanisms and robots. The intent is to show the convenience of MATLAB form mechanism and robot analysis. Using example problems the MATLAB syntax will be demonstrated. MATLAB is very useful in the process of deriving solutions for any problem in mechanisms or robots. The book includes a large number of problems that are being solved using MATLAB. The programs are available as appendices at the end of this book.
