A planar or two-dimensional (2D) mechanism is the combination of two or more machine elements that are designed to convey a force or motion across parallel plan

This text provides information on the design of machinery. It presents vector mathematical and matrix solution methods for analysis of both kinetic and dynamic

A novel algorithmic approach to mechanism design based on a geometric representation of kinematic function called configuration space partitions. This book pres

This is an integrated approach to kinematic and dynamic analysis. The matrix techniques presented are general and applicable to two- or three-dimensional system
