Aims :

To give to the students the minimal tools necessary for the study of mechanisms and machines; to provide the basic information underlying machines’ operations.

Topics :

STUDY OF MACHINES: definitions; kind of studies; working conditions.
KINEMATICS: kinematic analysis of rigid bodies and mechanisms; linkages; cams; gearings.
DYNAMICS: equation of dynamics; efficiency; direct and reverse motion.
DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF MACHINES: static analysis; dynamics of 1 dof machines (transient and steady-state); dynamic equivalences; flywheels; linear vibrations of 1 dof systems.
DRIVES: static characteristics for motors and loads; selection of actuators.
TRANSMISSIONS: lower pairs; belt and chain drives; couplings.
