Mechanism Design: Analysis and Synthesis. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: undergraduate kinematics, dynamics and demonstrated competence in computer programming and ME 616 . (May be taken concurrently.) Kinematic principles combined with computer-assisted methods for designing mechanisms; complex polar notation; and dynamic and kinetostatic analysis of mechanisms. Kinematic synthesis of planar mechanisms; graphical Burmester theory for plane linkage synthesis; and planar linkage synthesis for function and path generation.
