CONCEPTS OF DYNAMICS OF MACHINERY
Course Objectives:
- 1. To equip the student with fundamental knowledge of dynamics of machines so that student can appreciate
problems of dynamic force balance, transmissibility of forces, isolation of systems, vibrations.
-
2. Develop knowledge of analytical and graphical methods for calculating balancing of rotary and reciprocating
masses.
-
3. Develop understanding of vibrations and its significance on engineering design
-
4. Develop understanding of dynamic balancing, flywheel analysis, gyroscopic forces and moments
