Course materials
- Block 1 Geometry of Mechanisms Resource
- Unit 1 Mechanisms 1; Unit 2 Mechanisms 2 - these units introduce some simple mechanisms and show how combinations of mechanisms are use to form complex machines. The fundamental concepts of motion, such...
- Block 2 Statics Resource
- Unit 3 Forced and moments - this unit introduces the ideas of forces, moments and strength, and employs these quantities in static analysis ? the analysis of forces and moments on stationary bodies. The...
- Block 3 Kinematics: Motion/ Velocity diagrams Resource
- Unit 5 Motion - introduces methods of representing and analysing motion in mechanisms: the kinematics of mechanisms.
- Block 4 Dynamics Resource
- Units 7/8 Dynamics - these are used to introduce the fundamentals of dynamic analysis ? the analysis of forces (and moments) on moving bodie3s ? using Newton?s laws of motion, especially the second and...
- Block 5 Acceleration Resource
- Unit 9 is concerned with two topics, namely compensation forces, centrifugal force, for example, in analysis relative to moving axes, and the construction of acceleration diagrams for simple mechanisms....
- Block 6 Structures Resource
- Unit 10 Stress analysis - explains the concepts of stress and strain and the use of stress analysis to predict the performance of components.
- Block 7 Energy and momentum Resource
- Units 12/13 Energy and momentum - these units introduces the ideas of work, energy, power, momentum and impulse, and present procedures for using these concepts in dynamic analysis.
- Block 8 Vibration Resource
- Unit 14 Vibration - explains the basic concepts of free and forced vibration for simple spring-mass systems (with or without damping), including natural frequency, amplitude, phase and resonance. The principles...
- Block 9 Design and Study Resource
- Unit 15 The mechanics of an electric lift - this unit is a case study, based on the mechanical design of an electric lift, intended to show the application of many of the concepts and procedures which...
