Machine Design Analysis with MATLAB is a highly practical guide to the fundamental principles of machine design which covers the static and dynamic behavior of engineering structures and components. MATLAB has transformed the way calculations are made for engineering problems by computationally generating analytical calculations, as well as providing numerical calculations. Using step-by-step, real world example problems, this book demonstrates how you can use symbolic and numerical MATLAB as a tool to solve problems in machine design. This book provides a thorough, rigorous presentation of machine design, augmented with proven learning techniques which can be used by students and practicing engineers alike.

Comprehensive coverage of the fundamental principles in machine design Uses symbolical and numerical MATLAB calculations to enhance understanding and reinforce learning Includes well-designed real-world problems and solutions

Mechanisms are fundamental components of machines. They are used to transmit forces and moments and to manipulate objects in industrial machinery, robots, automobiles, aircraft, mechatronics devices and biomechanical systems. A knowledge of the kinematic and dynamic properties of mechanisms is essential for their design and control. This book describes methods and algorithms for the analysis of kinematic systems. Beginning with basic concepts, the book then discusses a variety of problem-solving approaches and computational techniques. 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. This handy text will be useful for senior or graduate students, researchers and practising engineers working in robotics, vehicle dynamics, mechatronics and machine design.

Engineering mechanics involves the development of mathematical models of the physical world. Statics addresses the forces acting on and in mechanical objects and systems. Statics with MATLAB®  develops an understanding of the mechanical behavior of complex engineering structures and components using MATLAB®  to execute numerical calculations and to facilitate analytical calculations. MATLAB® is presented and introduced as a highly convenient tool to solve problems for theory and applications in statics. Included are example problems to demonstrate the MATLAB® syntax and to also introduce specific functions dealing with statics. These explanations are reinforced through figures generated with MATLAB® and the extra material available online which includes the special functions described.This detailed introduction and application of MATLAB® to the field of statics makes Statics with MATLAB® a useful tool for instruction as well as self study,  highlighting the use of symbolic MATLAB® for both theory and applications to find analytical and numerical solutions
