Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines

Undergraduate

This course covers the principles of motion and force analysis applied to machines, including moments of inertia, kinematics of rigid bodies; plane motion, forces and accelerations for rigid bodies, work-energy and impulse-momentum methods; the fundamentals of mechanisms and machines, the kinetics and kinematics of particles; kinematic and dynamic analysis of linkages, cam-based, gear-based, and intermittent motion mechanisms, static and dynamic analysis of mechanical flywheels, balancing of reciprocating and rotating masses. (Prerequisites: GENG-1101 and PHYS-2100) (This is an experiential learning course.)
