Learn the process of gear design from sizing, material selection, modelling and FEA
As you read this chapter on linkages, it is important to realize that history plays a vital role in the development of your own personal attitude towards becomingcompetent at creating and using linkages. As it waswith many other areas of engineering, applied mathematicians and their curiosity for how their new analysistools could be used to understand problems (opportunities!) catalyzed the discovery of linkages and analysismethods. The study of linkages is a very mature andrich subject area but it is by no means over
