As the simplest closed chain mechanisms, planar four-bar linkages are widely used in mechanical engineering, civil engineering and aerospace engineering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesign of Special Planar Linkages\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a uniform design theory for planar four-bar linkages. The merit of the method proposed in this book is that it allows engineers to directly obtain accurate results when there are such solutions for the specified n precise positions; otherwise, the best approximate solutions will be found. This book discusses the kinematics and reachable workspace and singularity of a planar 3-RRR linkage, which can be used to analyze other planar linkages. Then a foldable stair that retains the walking conversions of human beings and all the merits of a concrete stair in civil engineering is described along with a lifting guidance mechanism that has the advantages of high strength, high rigidity, lightweight overconstraint trusses and motion flexibility. The method proposed in this book can be applied to other planar linkages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, engineers, graduate students in mechanical engineering especially those interested in engineering design, robotics and automation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJingshan Zhao\u003c\/b\u003e, Associate professor; \u003cb\u003eZhijing Feng\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eFulei Chu\u003c\/b\u003e, professor; \u003cb\u003eNing Ma\u003c\/b\u003e, Dr., all work at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Tsinghua University.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783662513538\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-38448-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 294\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44807223115916,"sku":"9783662513538","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783662513538.jpg?v=1774527532","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783662513538","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
