Module Aims
|
7 To build on Applied Mechanics 2 and enable students to apply Kinetic and Kinematic principles to machine elements and systems
7 To introduce methods for synthesis of linkage for design applications in mechanisms and robotics

Learning Outcomes
|
Having successfully completed this module the student will:
7 Be familiar with kinematics and kinetics of common machine components
7 Be able to evaluate the behaviour of a machine system
7 Be able to determine power transmission requirements
7 Evaluate the 2 and 3 -dimensional mobility of mechanisms
7 Design linkages for function generation and plane guidance
7 Use inflection circles and cubics of stationary curvature to design linkages
