MT 2611 - Mechanisms4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This class presents the fundamentals of position, velocity and acceleration analysis of mechanisms. Graphical methods are emphasized, and computer analysis is introduced. Other topics include mechanism synthesis and cam design. (prereq: MA 126 , EG 125 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• draw kinematic diagrams of mechanisms and calculate the number of degrees of freedom in a mechanism
• solve vector equations graphically and with trigonometry
• perform position, velocity, and acceleration analysis for mechanisms by graphical and analytical methods
• locate the instant centers of a mechanism, and use the instant center method in velocity analysis
• design simple mechanisms
• be familiar with the relationship between accelerations and forces in a mechanism
• design simple cam profiles
