Course Objectives

This course is expected to enable the student to:

• Impart knowledge on dynamic analysis and balancing of mechanisms
• Familiarize with gyroscopes and flywheels
• Familiarize with mathematical modelling and analysis of mechanical vibration systems

Course Outcomes

• CO1: Apply the principles of statics and dynamics to analyze mechanisms to determine joint forces and torques.
• CO2: Estimate the magnitude and position of balancing masses for unbalanced rotating and reciprocating parts.
• CO3: Construct turning moment diagrams for two and four stroke engines to evaluate the flywheel mass.
• CO4: Formulate the dynamic equilibrium equations of single and two degrees of freedom vibration systems and solve for the response under free and forced conditions.
• CO5: Analyze the effect of gyroscopic couple on automobiles, ships, and airplanes
