This course deals with advanced kinematic synthesis and analysis of mechanisms. Graphical and analytical methods for the synthesis of planar linkages will be presented. Techniques for velocity and acceleration analysis of complex mechanisms will be discussed. Force analysis of linkages will be introduced. Techniques for the synthesis and analysis of spatial mechanisms will be introduced.
Outcomes: On completion of the course, a student should be able to:
[1] Apply graphical and analytical methods, including Burmester’s theory, to synthesize real-life mechanisms for motion, function and path generation
[2] Assess the suitability of mechanism designs through kinematic and kinetic analysis
