Inhaltsangabe

The chapters of this book summarize the lectures delivered du ring the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Computational Methods in Mechanisms, that took place in the Sts. Constantin and Elena Resort, near Varna, on the Bulgarian Coast of the Black Sea, June 16-28, 1997. The purpose of the ASI was to bring together leading researchers in the area of mechanical systems at large, with special emphasis in the computational issues around their analysis, synthesis, and optimization, during two weeks of lectures and discussion. A total of 89 participants from 23 count ries played an active role during the lectures and sessions of contributed papers. Many of the latter are being currently reviewed for publication in specialized journals. The subject of the book is mechanical systems, Le. , systems composed of rigid and flexible bodies, coupled by mechanical means so as to constrain their various bodies in a goal-oriented manner, usually driven under computer con­ trol. Applications of the discipline are thus of the most varied nature, ranging from transportation systems to biomedical devices. U nder normal operation conditions, the constitutive bodies of a mechanical system can be consid­ ered to be rigid, the rigidity property then easing dramatically the analysis of the kinematics and dynamics of the system at hand. Examples of these systems are the suspension of a terrestrial vehicle negotiating a curve at speeds within the allowed or recommended limits and the links of multiaxis industrial robots performing conventional pick-and-place operations.

Reseña del editor

This meticulously edited collection of papers on the application of state-of-the-art computational methods to mechanical systems design is based on a NATO Advanced Research workshop held in 1997. Leading international experts treat the analysis, synthesis, optimization, and control of a broad spectrum of mechanical systems, including systems of rigid and flexible bodies that are the basic constituents of mechanisms and robotic devices, as well as multibody systems. Topics covered include kinematics, dynamics, and control of such systems, with special emphasis on modeling and simulation. The theoretical foundations of the underlying methods are covered as well as practical aspects of algorithm development, such as code parallelization and applications to specific areas.
