Syllabus

Mechanisms: Lower and higher pairs, degrees of freedom, various types of mechanisms, their inversions and applications, Kinematics and structure diagrams, equivalent linkages, steering mechanisms. Motion analysis of planer mechanisms by graphical, analytical and computer aided methods instantaneous centre, Corioli’s component of acceleration. Cams: Cam follower systems, synthesis of roller cams, cam profiles, pressure angles, Gears: Gearing terminology, spur, bevel, helical, worm, gears, motion and synthesis of simple, reverted and epicyclic gear trains, gear corrections. Kinematic synthesis: Classical synthesis techniques, Analytical synthesis of four line mechanisms and planner mechanisms. Dimensional synthesis, three position synthesis for function generation, path generation.

CO1: Knowledge will be gained on the subject matter.
