MECHANISMS in Modern Engineering Design A Handbook for Engineers, Designers and Inventors by IVAN I. ARTOBOLEVSKY, D.Sc.(Eng.) Member USSR Academy of Sciences, Translated from the Russian by Nicholas Weinstein, MIR PUBLISHERS, MOSCOW, 1977 Edition. This multi-volume manual of mechanisms in modern engineering design is the culmination of the author's life work on the theory and classification of mechanisms and is an encyclopaedic presentation of all the mechanisms used in modern engineering practice. The first edition, the four-volume Manual of Mechanisms, published in 1947-52 by the USSR Academy of Sciences, soon became an indispensible handbook for Soviet engineers, designers, and inventors. The new, enlarged manual will be found invaluable in all university and polytechnical departments of mechanical engineering, and in research and development and design organizations and laboratories. In Mechanisms in Modern Engineering Design each mechanism is represented by a diagram of its working principle with a concise description. The mechanisms are classified according to a scheme developed by Prof. Artobolevsky. The contents of the volumes of this encyclopaedic work are as follows: Volume 1 Lever Mechanisms. Elements of Mechanisms. Simple Lever Mechanisms. Linkwork. Volume 2 Parts 1 and 2 Lever Mechanisms. Link-gear Mechanisms. Slider-crank Mechanisms. Lever-cam Mechanisms. Gear-lever Mechanisms. Lever-ratchet Mechanisms. Flexible-link Lever Mechanisms. Elastic-link Lever Mechanisms. Wedge-lever Mechanisms. Lever-screw Mechanisms. Volume 3 Gear Mechanisms. Simple Gear Mechanisms. Lever-gear Mechanisms. Pin-gear Mechanisms. Ratchet-gear Mechanisms. Cam-gear Mechanisms. Worm-gear Mechanisms. Complex Gear Mechanisms. Volume 4 Cam and friction, and flexible-link mechanisms.(Contents: Simple Cam Mechanisms, Cam-Lever Mechanisms, Gear-Cam Mechanisms, Cam-Ritchet Mechanisms, Simple Friction Mechanisms, Complex Friction Mechanisms, Simple Flexible-Link Mechanisms and Complex Flexible-Link Mechanisms). Volume 5 Parts 1 and 2 Hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical devices. About the Author: Prof. Ivan Artobolevsky, Mem. USSR Acad. Sci., was a leading Soviet engineer in the field of the theory of machines and mechanisms. He took his engineering degree in 1926 at the Timiryazev Agricultural Academy in Moscow, where his father was a professor, studying under Professors V.P. Goryachkin and N. I. Mertsalov. From his studies of the work of Assur, Burmester, Chebyshev, Reuleaux, Somov, Wills, and Zhukovsky, he developed a system of common classification of mechanisms, the rudiments of which are to be found in the work of L. V. Assur on plane mechanisms published in 1914-18. This system subsequently yielded the general method for designing mechanisms that had formed the basis of Prof. Arto-bolevsky's lectures on the theory of machines and mechanisms first at the Moscow Institute of Chemical Engineering and then at the Moscow Aviation Institute. Prof. Artobolevsky's Mechanisms for the Generation of Plane Curves (London, 1964) is already well known to English speaking engineers. Professor Ivan ARTOBOLEVSKY, in addition to his teaching and research, is active in Soviet public life and an ardent exponent of the spread of science and the promotion of international scientific and cultural relations. He is a deputy of the Supreme Soviet and member of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. He is the President of the USSR Znanie Society (The USSR Society for the Dissemination of Scientific and Political Knowledge), the Soviet counterpart of the British and American and other Associations for the Advancement of Science, a Vice-President of the World Federation of Scientific Workers, and an officer or council member of many Soviet scientific and engineering professional bodies, including the USSR Academy of Sciences and the USSR Council of Scientific and Technical Societies. He is also a Vice-President of the Institute of Soviet-American Relations, and a member of the Council of the Union of Soviet Societies for Friendship and Cultural Relations. Prof. Artobolevsky has been honoured many times for his scientific and public activities. He has three times received the highest award of the Soviet Union, the Order of Lenin, and also the honorary title of Hero of Socialist Labour. He has also been awarded the Chebyshev Prize of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1946), the Joliot-Curie Silver Medal of the World Council of Peace (1959), the Silver Medal for Services in the Development of Science and Society of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (I960), and the James Watt Medal of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (1967).
