KINEMATICS

Catalog description

studies the motion of a mechanism without regard to the forces that cause the motion. Motion characteristics are then examined by utilizing skeleton diagrams and graphical techniques. The creation and application of kinematic (skeleton) diagrams is covered. Those diagrams are then used to graphically and analytically convert from angular velocities to linear velocities and vice versa.
