dynamics in analysis of gear system, belt drive, flywheel and balancing of masses are also explored. Extension of
principles of dynamics to simple harmonic motion of single degree freedom is also presented.
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this course are:
1.

To enable students to apply principles of dynamics to analyse kinematics and kinetics of mechanism in
machines of single degree of freedom.

2.

To provide students with the hands on experience/knowledge in solving kinematics, and kinetics problem
using appropriate engineering simulation tools.

COURSE OUTCOMES:
Having successfully completed the course, the students should be able to:
Course Outcome 1: Analyse the kinematic and kinetics on selected mechanism in machinery.
(C4)
Course Outcome 2: Evaluate kinematics, and kinetics in machinery using suitable engineering
tools.(C6)
