Kinematics of Machines

This module describes the skills, knowledge and attitude about the various types of combination of links available to achieve certain kind of motion as an output from an input motion. This module is intended to trainees pursuing diploma in manufacturing technology. At the end of this module, the trainees will be able to describe the wellknown mechanisms, which together constitute to make a big machinery. They will know that the machines are made of many small mechanisms. The trainees will acquire the knowledge about gear making and its kinematics, and synthesis of machines. The trainees will analyze velocity and acceleration of mechanism links, which give us a great knowledge of its possible use. The trainees will have the abilities to exercise some initiatives and independence in carrying out defined activities at professional level.
