Chapter 9 Cams: Design and Kinematic Analysis

This document discusses the design and kinematic analysis of cam and follower mechanisms. It introduces different types of cams including plate cams, cylindrical cams, and linear cams. It also covers follower motion profiles like constant velocity, constant acceleration, harmonic motion, and cycloidal motion. Graphical techniques are presented for analyzing follower displacement diagrams and designing cam profiles to produce specific follower motions. Examples are included to illustrate these concepts.
