This book is evolved itself out of 30 years of teaching, research and development experience on the subject, moulding different important aspects into a half-year course. Basic principles of analysis and synthesis of mechanisms are included considering all relevant aspects. Each chapter in this book consists of a concise but thorough fundamental statement of the theory; principles and methods; followed by a selected number of illustrative worked examples. Various aspects of classification of mechanisms; analytical techniques for the kinematic analysis of spatial mechanisms; existence criteria and gross motion analysis of mechanisms; kinematic synthesis of mechanisms for function, rigid body guidance and path generation; coupler cognates and coupler curves for spatial mechanisms are presented in this book.  A number of sample unsolved problems for students practice, to amplify and extend the theory are also included. Numerous references provided at the end of chapters and the bibliography at the end of the book serve as helpful sources for further study and research. Thus the book retains all the aspects of spatial mechanisms in a systematic manner as far as possible for a one semester course at graduate level without recourse to following several books and reference publications and derive benefits of basic principles and methods recently advanced in spatial mechanisms.

Vibration Analysis presents concise but thorough fundamental statement of the theory, principles and methods. Topics covered include concepts and review of analytical dynamics, the basic single and the complex multiple degree of freedom systems using the Newton's law of motion, the energy method, matrix method, Lagrange's equations, influence coefficients, matrix iteration, the Holzer method, Jacobi's method and Choleski decomposition method. An introduction to the theory of vibration of continuous systems is also included. The Rayleigh and Rayleigh-Ritz methods of determining the approximate natural frequencies are also discussed.

Vibration Analysis

The purpose of this text is to impart a basic understanding, both physical and mathematical, of the fundamentals of the theory of vibration and its applications including the analysis of vibration of mechanical or structural systems. Logically organized and easy to use, this text guides the reader through all aspects of vibration analysis. Includes reviews of analytical dynamics, the basic single, two and multidegree of freedom systems using the energy and matrix methods, Lagrange's equation, natural frequencies and mode shapes, response by direct integration techniques and vibration control. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction to the theory being covered followed by numerous solved and practice problems illustrating how the theory is used for the analysis of vibrating systems. Key features include: presentation in simple terms and solution procedures explained in detail through worked examples; abundant examples and exercise problems; problems at the end of each chapter; chapters on vibration control and finite element method; illustrative examples; and programming examples using MATLAB software.

Robotics: Control and Programming covers primary concepts of principal robotic subsystems. Physical structure of manipulator mechanisms have been presented lucidly in the introductory chapter. Main types of sensors and actuators are illustrated in simple terms. Manipulator Kinematics, differential motion, dynamics and control are presented mathematically with a number of numerical examples. Different methods of robot programming are briefly discussed. Essential industrial applications of robots have been classified and grouped in the last chapter. Programmatically prepared manuscript allows the reader understand concepts of robotics and the simulation programs given in each chapter help in verification of many exercise problems of the book.
