3003

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• To study the basic components of mechanisms, analyzing the assembly with respect to the displacement, velocity, and acceleration at any point in a link of a mechanism and design cam mechanisms for specified output motions.
• To study the basic concepts of toothed gearing and kinematics of gear trains
• To Analyzing the effects of friction in machine elements
• To Analyzing the force-motion relationship in components subjected to external forces and analyzing of standard mechanisms.
• To Analyzing the undesirable effects of unbalances resulting from prescribed motions in mechanism and the effect of dynamics of undesirable vibrations.
