Mechanics of Machines

Mechanisms and kinematics
Position and displacement analysis
Mechanism design
Motion analysis in machinery
Instantaneous centre of rotation (graphical and analytical)
Velocity and acceleration analyses of mechanisms
Cams: design and kinematic analysis, the Geneva mechanism
Gears: kinematic analysis and selection
Belt and chain drives
Screw mechanisms

Vibrations

Introduction to Mechanical Vibrations
Underdamped Free Vibrations
Damped Vibrations

To give students an understanding of machine kinematics, dynamics and vibration, and to introduce students to the machine/mechanism design process.

At the completion of this topic, students are expected to be able to:

Analyse and design mechanisms
Understand and analyse motion analysis in machinery
Calculate and identify instantaneous centres of rotation of machines
Calculate the velocity and acceleration of mechanisms
Understand, analyse and design cam systems
Understand analyse, and design geared systems
Understand, analyse and design belt and chain drives
Understand, analyse and design screw mechanisms
Understand and analyse single and multi-degree of freedom systems
Demonstrate understanding of the design of vibration absorbers
Understand and analyse Distributed Parameter Systems
Demonstrate understanding of vibration testing and modal analysis
Apply learned content in everyday engineering practice and communicate in writing desired outcomes to a wider audience
