Mechanisms & Mechanical Devices Sourcebookby Nicholas P. Chironis
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Over 2000 drawings make this sourcebook a gold mine of information for learning and innovating in mechanical design The fourth edition of this unique engineering reference book covers the past, present, and future of mechanisms and mechanical devices. Among the thousands of proven mechanisms illustrated and described are many suitable for recycling into new mechanical, electromechanical, or mechatronic products and systems. Overviews of robotics, rapid prototyping, MEMS, and nanotechnology will get you up-to-speed on these cutting-edge technologies. Easy-to-read tutorial chapters on the basics of mechanisms and motion control will introduce those subjects to you or refresh your knowledge of them.

After working as a staff editor for several engineering magazines he became an editorial consultant. His technical articles have been published in more than a dozen different publications. He is the author or co-author of nine other McGraw-Hill professional reference books. He holds degrees from Brown and Northeastern Universities. Nicholas P. Chironis developed the original book concept, and was the author and editor of the first edition. He was a mechanical engineer and consultant in industry before joining the staff of Production Engineering magazine as its mechanical design editor. Later in his career, he was an editor for other McGraw-Hill engineering publications. Mr. Chironis earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering from Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, New York.
