MENG 253 - Dynamics and Mechanics of Machines

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 75

Restricted to students in Mechanical Engineering Technology
Students will learn about the components of velocity and acceleration, motion analysis, force/acceleration, work/energy, and impulse/momentum principles applied to particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies. Students will also study the kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms to determine the velocity, acceleration, and forces acting on each component. Analyzed mechanisms include four-bar-links, piston-sliders, cams and gear trains. Systems will be analysed using analytical, graphical and/or computer-aided methods, with an emphasis on practical applications and case studies.
