Overview

This well-organized book uses 3x3 coordinate-transformation matrices and 3-element vectors with dual-number elements to analyze the mechanics of mechanism, robots, and other mechanical systems.
Dual-Number Methods in Kinematics, Statics and Dynamics serves as a text for a course using dual-number methods as well as a manual for the reader to develop his or her abilities for the design of machinery or evaluation of mechanical systems. In addition to the explanatory text and derivations, the author includes numerous examples and exercises to enable the reader to gain insight and perfect skills.

Intended as a textbook for a course dealing with dual-number methods and as a manual for the development of design abilities in machinery or the evaluation of mechanical systems. Coverage includes: methods for considering the displacements, velocities, and dynamics of spatial and planar closed-loop mechanisms as well as robotic manipulators; programming with dual-number variables; coordinate transformations; and a sample C++ program showing an application where the advantages obtained from the dual-number formulation are apparent.
