Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in engineering precision have tracked with technological progress for hundreds of years. Over the last few decades, precision engineering has been the specific focus of research on an international scale. The outcome of this effort has been the establishment of a broad range of engineering principles and techniques that form the foundation of precision design. Today’s precision manufacturing machines and measuring instruments represent highly specialised processes that combine deterministic engineering with metrology. Spanning a broad range of technology applications, precision engineering principles frequently bring together scientific ideas drawn from mechanics, materials, optics, electronics, control, thermo-mechanics, dynamics, and software engineering. This book provides a collection of these principles in a single source. Each topic is presented at a level suitable for both undergraduate students and precision engineers in the field. Also included is a wealth of references and example problems to consolidate ideas, and help guide the interested reader to more advanced literature on specific implementations.

Book excerpt: This book presents some basic flexure geometries and the analytic models, which can be assessed for specific design applications. The author then goes beyond this fundamental explanation to explore more sophisticated issues. Specifically, the text discusses integration of these flexure geometries and analytic models to produce useful mechanisms for precise motion control with fast dynamic response. This book will be useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, particularly those who hope to acquire competence in experimental and mechanical sciences. Practicing engineers and other scientists currently working in related fields will also benefit from Flexure.

Book excerpt: Mechanism constitute the mechanical organs of machines. They are generally composed of rigid segments connected to each other by articulated joints. The function of the joints is to act as bearings, i.e. to constraint the relative motion of the segments it connects, while leaving a freedom of motion in some specific directions. Conventional mechanisms rely on sliding or rolling motions between solid bodies in order to fulfill the bearing function. Consequently, these bearings exhibit friction forcers limiting the motion precision, they require lubrication, they undergo wear, they produce debris and they have a limited lifetime. Flexure mechanisms rely on a radically different physical principle to fulfill the bearing function : the elastic deformation of beams and membranes. This gets around the above-mentioned limitations. The rigid segments of the mechanism are connected to each other via elastically deformable joints called flexures which are springs whose stiffnesses are designed to be very high in the directions where the joint has to constrain relative motion and very flexile in the directions where freedom of motion is required. As a result, mechanisms can be manufactured monolithically and, by proper choice of materials and geometry of the flexures, lead to lifetimes of tens of millions of cycles without any wear or change in the geometry or forces of motion. Thanks to these unique properties flexure mechanisms have become an inescapable technology in all environments where friction, lubrication, wear, debris or mechanical backlash are forbidden : outer space, vacuum, cryogenics, high radiation, ultra-clean environments, etc. This book comes within the scope of this technological evolution. It gathers the knowledge of experts in flexure mechanisms design having worked in the key fields of high precision robotics, aerospace mechanisms, particle accelerators and watch making industry. It is dedicated to engineers, scientists and students working in these fields. The book presents the basic principles underlying flexure mechanism design, the most important flexures and the key formulas for their proper design. It also covers more general aspects of the kinematic design of multi-degrees of freedom mechanism exploiting the state of the art approaches of parallel kinematics. A wide variety of concrete examples of systems designed based on theses approaches are presented in details. in the directions where the joint has to constrain relative motion and very flexile in the directions where freedom of motion is required.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Red Book" presents a background to conventional foundation analysis and design. The text is not intended to replace the much more comprehensive 'standard' textbooks, but rather to support and augment these in a few important areas, supplying methods applicable to practical cases handled daily by practising engineers and providing the basic soil mechanics background to those methods. It concentrates on the static design for stationary foundation conditions. Although the topic is far from exhaustively treated, it does intend to present most of the basic material needed for a practising engineer involved in routine geotechnical design, as well as provide the tools for an engineering student to approach and solve common geotechnical design problems.
