Product description

From the Back Cover

This thorough and comprehensive web-enhanced edition has been updated and enhanced — No other book has a web connection like this one! The software associated with the book makes it very useful for designing and analyzing linkage and CAM mechanisms. Web-enhanced features include free access to ADAMS™ software, over 200 animated movie files of mechanisms and machines, and a new CAM design package. New material includes coverage of type synthesis, robot grippers, and curvature cognates, while retaining coverage of traditional material with a significant treatment of kinematic synthesis. All material is explored both graphically and analytically — Graphical methods are used to fully explain basic principles. Features in-depth and rigorous discussions on displacement and velocity analysis; acceleration and force analysis; and cam design. For professionals interested in Kinematics, Mechanisms, and Dynamics.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid at all costs

As a Junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering I am required to use this text for a mechanism design course. This book fails to teach one any of the fundamentals associated with mechanism design. The examples are poor and do not give much context to the problem solution. This book may be better suited as a reference for mechanism design as one of its author (a professor at my university) is world-renowned for his work in mechanism. I would avoid this text unless it is necessary for one of your courses.

Thank you, good quality for low price. This book has a lot of information and more information then you could imagine about linkages. Will help for future with most engineering job of product and mechanical design. Professor Erdman is a genius. Ps. if you can get your hands on lincages software it is vary valuable. Outdated software but it still works!

It does not include website access as mentioned in the description. You have to pay an extra $45.00 for it. The inside back cover where the access code is supposed to be located has a printed note saying that the access code is enclosed although there is nothing in it. I don't know that the Paper Back is supposed to come with the online access or not but they description and the back cover says so. Really disappointed.

It's better as a reference book than as a text book.
