Theory of Machines
Course
Objective:
To
impart knowledge on kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms, gears, friction
elements, and vibrations.
Kinematics
of Mechanisms, CAMS: Kinematic pairs, chains,
inversions, and analysis of mechanisms using graphical and analytical methods -
Cam types, follower motion, displacement diagrams, and cam profile design.
Activity:
Poster presentation on application of cams in agricultural machinery.
Gears,
Gear Trains, Power Transmission: Gear geometry, tooth
action, interference, and gear trains including epicyclic systems - Belt, rope,
chain drives, clutches, brakes, and lubrication principles in power
transmission.
Activity:
Flipped class on high-performance polymer gears
Friction,
Force Analysis: Friction in machine elements,
lubrication regimes, and static force analysis using free body diagrams -
Dynamic force analysis with inertia effects and application of D’Alembert’s
principle.
Activity:
Seminar on Use of tribological coatings for friction reduction
Balancing,
Vibration of Machines: Balancing of rotating and
reciprocating masses and balancing machines - Free and forced vibrations,
damping, critical speed, torsional vibrations, and vibration isolation.
Activity:
Quiz on Smart vibration monitoring systems
