Course Objectives To develop an ability • to perform motion analysis of single degree of freedom mechanisms, • to perform dynamic force analysis in mechanisms including the effect of friction • to perform balancing in rotating machinery and inertia variant machines
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • construct the equation of motion of single degree of freedom mechanisms using kinematic influence coefficients and apply numerical methods to solve for equation of motion
  • perform force analysis in mechanisms including the effects of friction at prismatic and revolute joints
  • perform force analysis in simple and planetary gear trains and construct power flow diagrams
  • perform balancing of rotating machinery, design counterweights to obtain completely-balanced in-line four-bar mechanisms and reduce shaking forces and moments of in-line multi-cylinder engines
Course Content Knematic influence coefficients, equation of motion of single degree of freedom systems, analytical and numerical solution methods, effects of dry and viscous friction, force analysis and power flow in simple and planetary gear trains, rotating mass balancing, balancing of inertia-variant machines, analysis of unbalance in multi-cylinder engines
