This book is intended as a supplement for undergraduate courses in kinematics or dynamics of mechanisms. The emphasis of the text is integrating the computational power of MATLAB and Simulink into the analysis and design of mechanisms. It provides detailed instruction and examples showing how to use MATLAB and Simulink to develop powerful and accurate computer simulations of constrained mechanical systems. A Simulink tutorial is included in the appendix, covering topics ranging from building a simple model to using MATLAB functions in Simulink.

| Vibration Simulation Using MATLAB and ANSYS |
|
Designed for someone learning dynamics for the first time or for an experienced engineer who uses the tools infrequently, this text bridges the gap between introductory vibration courses and techniques used in actual practice. The book provides an understanding of modal analysis, from which the total response of a system can be constructed. It also provides the know-how to take the results of large dynamic finite element models and build small MATLAB state-space models. Each chapter provides the background theory to support its example, and each chapter contains both a closed-form solution to the problem and detailed MATLAB code for solving the problem, that also uses functions from the Control System Toolbox. In addition, Simulink is used for several examples throughout the book but is not required.
