A concise introduction to mechanics of rigid bodies: multidisciplinary engineering

Statics and Dynamics of Rigid Bodies presents an interdisciplinary approach to mechanical engineering through a close evaluation of the statics and dynamics of rigid bodies, presenting a concise introduction to both. This volume bridges the gap of interdisciplinary published texts linking fields like mechatronics and robotics with multi-body dynamics in order to provide readers with a clear path to understanding numerous sub-fields of mechanical engineering. Three-dimensional kinematics, rigid bodies in planar spaces and numerous vector and matrix operations are presented in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of mechanics through dynamics and rigid bodies. Practical mechanical engineering examples are applied to the text, offering a link between theoretical fundamentals and every-day application. Offers simplified mathematical equations to clearly present essential theories in robotics and mechanics. Presents statics and dynamics together in one comprehensivevolume, giving readers a more balanced understanding of their relationship INDICE: Introduction. Vector and Matrix Operations. Kinematics of a Rigid Body. Dynamics of a Rigid Body. The Robotic Wrist. Four-Bar Link Mechanisms. Human Body Motion in Long Jump.
