Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to get knowledge about mechanisms, machines and their classification, as well as machine units and their formation. Students learn the structure of mechanisms and their classification, as well as kinematic analysis. Understanding of the mechanism and machine dynamics serves as the base for solving problems of vibration isolation of machines.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge - is familiar with the laws and operation of machinery and mechanisms. Knows the theoretical foundations of the actual motion detection and provision of machine units. Knowledge of graphical and analytical methods of analysis and design of mechanisms and machines - defense of the independent work.
Skills - are able to solve problems of machine and mechanism structure, kinematic, dynamic parameter optimization and machine vibration protection - defense of the independent work.

Competence - ability to use the acquired professional knowledge and skills in practical work and studies for solving engineering problems - defense of the independent work.
