Dynamics of Crank-Piston Mechanisms

This monograph focuses on the dynamical researchwork on crank-piston mechanisms considering basic and additional motions. Inorder to have full dynamical analyses of piston machines and their mechanisms, thebook studies the crank-piston mechanisms with clearances in kinematic pairs.The tasks are carried out by focusing on friction, wear and impacts inmechanisms, as well as cracks formation in links...
