Foundations of Ultraprecision Mechanism Design, Paperback by Smith, S. T.; Chetwynd, D. G., ISBN 2884490019, ISBN-13 9782884490016, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The realm of ultra precision mechanisms, for example in controlling motion to small fractions of a micrometer, is encroaching into many fields of technology. This book aims to provide a bridge for those moving from either an engineering or physics background towards the challenges offered by ultraprecision mechanisms. Using case study examples, this book provides a guide to basic techniques and gives technical, analytical and practical information.
