Linkage design for Excavator and Dump truck

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the need for comprehensive resources on linkage design, specifically for complex systems such as excavators, dump trucks, cranes, hydraulic machines, agricultural machines, and robotic arms. The user seeks in-depth knowledge to enhance their existing understanding of linkage design. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate design to avoid potential failures in engineering applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of mechanical engineering principles
  • Familiarity with hydraulic systems
  • Knowledge of CAD software for design visualization
  • Experience with kinematic analysis of linkages
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced linkage design techniques in "Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook" by Robert L. Norton
  • Explore hydraulic system design principles in "Fluid Power: Hydraulics and Pneumatics" by James R. Duffy
  • Learn about kinematic simulation using SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor
  • Study the design and application of robotic arms in "Robotics: Modelling, Planning and Control" by Bruno Siciliano

Hi,
I need to know the name of some very good books for learning linkage design. I have to design some complex system using Linkage. I have to design excavator, truck and crane and hydraulics machines and civil Engineering Machnies, Agriculture machines, robot arm. I have a little knowledge in Linkage but I need to know in depth.

For work? For a personal challenge? To escape from a desert island? What would be the consequences if you designed them incorrectly?
