Explore a practical framework for predicting how mechanisms move.
This book shows how to reason about motion with configuration spaces and how to build global views of a mechanism’s behavior from simple, local pieces. This work ties together theory and method to analyze kinematics. It explains how the configuration space of a mechanism relates to its possible motions, and how to compute that space by composing pairwise spaces from its parts. It covers fixed axis mechanisms in depth, including how their motions fall into a small set of simple types, and how to use region diagrams and state diagrams to envision motion and transitions. It also discusses movable axis mechanisms, highlighting new challenges and what remains possible with composition methods.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a new framework to analyze mechanical devices by describing their possible behaviors in terms of the configuration space of the mechanism. A configuration space is a geometric representation of all the possible positions and orientations of every part in the mechanism. Different subsets of this configuration space correspond to different possible motions of the parts. This allows the author to characterize all the qualitatively different motions of a mechanical device as regions in a region diagram. The author shows how to obtain the region diagram of a fixed axis mechanism by composing pairwise configuration spaces. This approach greatly simplifies the analysis of complex mechanisms, and provides a powerful tool for understanding their behavior.
