Overview
Many engineering problems are solved by using equipment with moving parts. To successfully design such equipment requires a fundamental understanding of how objects move and interact with other objects. The course supplies the essential basics to study the advanced content in MEC3403 of static and dynamic balancing, and vibration theory.
A working knowledge of the basic laws of motion and of the concepts of force, energy, momentum, impulse and vibration is fundamental to the study of mechanics and the solution of many engineering problems. In this course these basic concepts are reviewed and a number of techniques are developed to assist in the analysis of the plane motion of particles, bodies, interconnected bodies, mechanisms and geared systems.
