Class Objectives
/Class Outline This course provides fundamentals of geometric/kinematic/physical principles of mechanisms of machines composed of many components. Main focus of this course will be on:
1) Movements of the mechanisms (displacement, velocity, acceleration, static equilibrium of forces)
2) Linkages and cam mechanisms
3) Gears and gear systems, and
4) Robot mechanisms

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review Students should steadily work on exercise problems assigned each week. In doing so, engage your imagination to envision how the mechanisms move, rather than merely following instructed procedures. It is recommended to utilize tools like Mathematica to create animations to visualize the motions of mechanisms. Mathematica is freely available for Hiroshima University students. Install it through the instructions on the following page:
https://www.media.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/services/license/mathematica/

Requirements

Grading Method Grading will be made by the mid-term (40%) and end-term (40%) examinations and the reports (20%). Credits will be given to students who get a score over 60%.
