Combined with the emergence of powerful personal computers, mathematical analysis software and the development of quantitative methods for kinematic synthesis, there is an endless variety of possible mechanism solutions that users are free to explore, realize, and evaluate for any given problem in an efficient and practical manner. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMechanism Design: Visual and Programmable Approaches\u003c\/b\u003e provides a broad introduction to kinematic synthesis, presenting and applying \u003ci\u003emotion\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003epath\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003efunction\u003c\/i\u003e generation methodologies for some of the most basic \u003ci\u003eplanar\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003espatial\u003c\/i\u003e single and multi-loop linkage systems. This work provides numerous in-chapter synthesis examples and end-of-chapter synthesis problems. Users can also invent their own specialized synthesis problems according to their particular interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe commercial mathematical software package MATLAB(R) and its mechanical system modeling and simulation module SimMechanics(R) are thoroughly integrated in this textbook for mechanism synthesis and analysis. The reader is therefore enabled to readily apply the design approaches presented in this textbook to synthesize mechanism systems and visualize their results. With this knowledge of both \u003ci\u003ekinematic synthesis\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003etheory\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ecomputer-based application\u003c\/i\u003e, readers will be well-equipped to invent novel mechanical system designs for a wide range of applications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Russell,Qiong Shen,Raj S.
