Placement : | Third semester | Hours per week : | 4 |
Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | English |
Objective : | To provide the student with a fundamental understanding of dynamic phenomena in mechanical systems. To enable the student to apply the laws of mechanics to the analysis of mechanisms and balancing of machines. A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: • Use kinematical relations to describe and analyze rectilinear and curvilinear motion of particles. • Describe and analyze the kinematics of rigid bodies, linkages and mechanisms. • Draw free-body diagrams for plane motion of particles and rigid bodies. • Determine work of external forces, moments and couples. • Apply the work-energy principle for plane motion of particles and rigid bodies. • Apply the principle of impulse and momentum for plane motion of particles and rigid bodies. • Describe and analyze the kinetics of linkages and mechanisms. • State and analyse static and dynamic balancing of machines. • Read engineering literature on mechanisms and dynamics of machinery. |
