Mechanism Kinematics & Dynamics

This NotesBook is intended for ME 3011 Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines, a required one-semester course in Mechanical Engineering at Ohio University. Covered are mobility and position, velocity, acceleration, and jerk kinematics, plus inverse dynamics for planar 1-dof linkage, gear, and cam mechanisms. MATLAB Software is used as a tool throughout for mechanisms analyses and animations. Warning: my NotesBook concept serves both as textbook and notebook – some equations, figures, and examples are blank and must be completed in class. Readers external to Ohio University are welcome with that caveat in mind.
