DESCRIPTION:
The realm of ultra precision mechanisms, for example in controlling motion to small fractions of a micrometer, is encroaching into many fields of technology. Using case study examples, this book provides a guide to basic techniques and gives technical, analytical and practical information.. This book aims to provide a bridge for those moving from either an engineering or physics background towards the challenges offered by ultraprecision mechanisms
"This collection is a lovely opportunity to explore many of the aspects of precision engineering that makes it a continuing challenge and joy for all those who work in the field"-D.B. Debra of Stanford University
excelent primer on STM/AFM design fundamentals Smith & Chetwynd's book covers many of the fundamental design considerations for ultraprecision devices. This is done from a physiscist's perspective starting with a discussion of the basis for simple beam ananlysis. It proceeds through optimal constraint and flexure. JHE said Four Stars. Great looking book! Now to find the time to study it!!!
