Foundations of Ultra-Precision Mechanism Design by Stuart T. Smith

by S.T. Smith

The realm of ultraprecise mechanisms, for example in controlling motion to small fractions of a micrometer, is encroaching rapidly into many fields of technology. This book provides a bridge for those moving from either an engineering or physics background towards the unique challenges offered by ultraprecision mechanisms. Using case study examples this book provides a guide to basic techniques and gives vital technical, analytical and practical information.S.T. Smith and D.J. Chetwynd are both at the Department of Engineering, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK
