Course abstract
The aim of the studying 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 kinetostatic method and mechanism and machine dynamics serves as the base for solving problems of vibration isolation of machines.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
Knowledge: students understand the laws of the construction and operation of the machinery. Know the theoretical foundations of determination and ensuring the necessary movement of machine units. Managed by the graphical and analytical methods of mechanism and machine analysis and design.
Skills: students are able to solve problems of the optimization structure of machine and mechanisms, kinematic and dynamic parameters and vibration isolation of machines.
Competence: ability to apply professional knowledge and skills in practical work and studies to solve different engineering problems.
