Aims :

Show the main principles of the mechanism and machinery functioning, and
Give to the students the basic knowledge to study different types of mechanisms and machineries.

Topics :

- MECHANISMS AND MACHINERIES: Definitions; typologies; analysis and synthesis; functioning conditions.
- KINEMATICS: particle’s kinematics; rigid body’s kinematics; relative motion; mechanism’s kinematics; joints’ typologies; mechanism’s synthesis and analysis.
- KINETICS: forces and moments; moment and products of inertia areas; particle’s kinetics; equations of motion; efficiency; direct and inverse motion; motion’s irreversibility.
- FRICTION: friction origin; friction theories; sliding friction, friction in rolling contact.
- DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF MACHINERY: Static and dynamic analysis; transient and steady state analysis; dynamic equivalence; fly wheel; free and forced vibrations of one degrees of freedom systems; transient analysis of simple machineries.
- MECHANISMS: linkage; cams; couplings; clutches; gears and gear trains, belt drives, chain drives; brakes.
