Basics Of Kinematic Analysis In Mechanism Design
 

⚡ Dynamic Force , Inertia force analysis
⚡ Case studies on actual applications of mechanism design principles
Requirements
❗ Basic understanding of mechanics
❗ Background on Math concepts like Vectors , Algebra, Trigonometry
Description
Mechanisms and structures are fundamental elements of any mechanical design.
In this course we will learn in depth about the fundamentals of mechanisms , the study of their motion and the application to actual product design
The following topics will be covered
✨ An overview of the mechanical design process and where mechanism design fits into the larger picture
✨ What are functional requirements in product or systems design and the many functional keywords
✨ A general approach in designing mechanisms from scratch
✨ The difference between Analysis and Synthesis
✨ Concept of Degrees of Freedom
✨ Kinematic pairs and joints and their types
✨ Planar and Spatial mechanisms introuction
✨ Mobility Kutzbach criteria and examples
✨ Criteria for spatial mechanism with examples
✨ Kinematic inversions
✨ Grashof criteria for 4 link mechanisms
✨ Basics of position vectors
✨ Loop closure equations
✨ Finding position of a point on link
✨ Velocity analysis Basics
✨ Velocity analysis of 4 link mechanism and slider crank mechanisms
✨ Finding velocity of any point on the links
✨ Acceleration analysis introduction
✨ Problems in acceleration analysis - How to find absolute accelerations for any point on the link
✨ Static Force analysis
✨ Dynamic force analysis and concepts of Inertia , D'alemberts principle applied
✨ Problem in dynamic force analysis
✨ Case studies in application of mechanism design to product design or systems design
This course is a deep dive in the world of mechanisms and the main purpose is to form a strong foundation to apply in actual engineering problems and go towards advanced design
