This updated edition of Mechanism Design: Visual and Programmable Approaches using MATLAB® and Simscape Multibody offers a comprehensive introduction to kinematic synthesis, covering motion, path, and function generation techniques for a wide range of planar and spatial single- and multi-loop linkage systems.

The book presents foundational concepts alongside practical methodologies, making it an accessible resource for both students and practitioners in the field. In this revised edition, real-world application of the presented methods is supported through the integration of MATLAB® and its powerful simulation and visualization toolbox, Simscape Multibodyâ¢. These tools help bridge theory and practice, allowing readers to implement kinematic synthesis techniques and observe system behavior through dynamic visualizations. New content expands the bookâs scope, including topics such as geared five-bar kinematic synthesis and both forward and inverse kinematics for robotic systems.

Designed as a complete introduction to kinematic synthesis, this textbook is an essential resource for students in mechanical engineering and related disciplines seeking to master the principles and practicalities of mechanism design.

The new edition also includes a solution manual and MATLAB as an online resource for instructors to support the topics discussed in the book.
