Basic models and concepts of machine dynamics and motion control are
presented in the order of the principal steps of machine design. The
machine is treated as a coupled dynamical system, including drive,
mechanisms and controller, to reveal its behavior at different regimes
through the interaction of its units under dynamic and processing loads.
The main dynamic effects in machines are explained. The influence of
component compliances on accuracy, stability and efficiency of the
machines is analyzed. Methods for decreasing internal and external
vibration activity of machines are described. The dynamic features of
digital control are considered. Special attention is given to machines
with intense dynamic behavior: resonant and hand-held percussion ones.
Targeted to engineers as well as to lecturers and advanced students.
