5.0 out of 5 stars A very fine Introduction to Kinematic Pairs-n-Chains., May 22, 2007

A Reader (California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kinematic Synthesis of Linkages (Mechanical Engineering Series) (Hardcover)
Splendid. A reader will need a solid engineering background, but if he or she's got it, then this should be redicuously easy reading.

From hinges to cylinders (sliders) to screws, the text reviews all the fundamental principle(s) unifying all these seemingly different mechanisms. The professonial term for this principle(s) is linkage; a bit more common one is joint. ...Double-Duo-Jointed...alright, alright, I just made up the DDJ term since that's the point in Kinematic Synthesis of Linkages: in other words, the theory of link creativity. How to link things up!

Actually, one of the more radical titles in the linkage body of literature is "How to draw a straight line," which describes the Peaucellier-Lipkin link. A mechanism once thought impossible.

L8R.
