This non-calculus based course studies the application of kinematics theories to real world machinery. Static and motion applications will be studied.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Determine the static and motion characteristics of a machine.
- Apply kinematic theories to practical mechanisms.
- Understand mechanism design and selection.
- Use position, velocity, and acceleration to analyze a mechanism.
- Analysis should include but not be limited to:
- Cranks
- Cams
- Gears
- Drives
- Screws
COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include -
- Vector analysis
- Displacement
- Design slider-crank mechanism
- Velocity
- Acceleration
- Motion of cam, gears, belts, chains, and screws
- Selection of cam, gears, belts, chains, and screws
