Theory of mechanisms for reproducing flat curves

Readers are offered a classic work by the outstanding Soviet scientist-mechanic, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences I.I. Artobolevsky, dedicated to the theory of mechanisms for reproducing curves as trajectories of points of mechanism links. The research had significant practical value, as in the practice of machine design, there is often a requirement for the movement of individual points of executive mechanisms along specified trajectories. The monograph extensively examines mechanisms for reproducing algebraic curves up to the 4th order inclusive, and some mechanisms for reproducing algebraic curves of higher orders and transcendental curves. At the end of the book, there is a brief overview of the historical development of the theory of mechanisms for reproducing curves. The book is recommended for mathematicians and mechanics, engineers, teachers, graduate students, and students of higher technical educational institutions. Comment: Stereotype edition.
