This monograph develops a unified methodology for dynamic analysis and
minimization of the inertia-induced forces occurring in high speed multiloop
planar as well as spatial mechanisms based on the multibody system modeling
approach. Dynamic analysis is prerequisite for the dynamic balancing of
mechanisms. The balancing of mechanisms is one of the crucial steps in design of
high speed machinery and is a difficult one due to trade-off amongst various
dynamic quantities, e.g., shaking force, shaking moment, bearing reactions, and
driving torques/forces. Hence, it is essentially an optimization problem where
various dynamic quantities are computed repeatedly.
