MET 320 - Kinematics of Machine Elements

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Description:

Kinematic analysis of displacement velocity and acceleration is applied to a variety of machine elements including three bar and four bar linkages, cams and gears. Analytical techniques that make extensive use of the differential calculus, are stressed. These are coupled with graphical methods for the design of plate cams. Extensive use is made of commercial software packages including "Working Model" and "ALGOR Event Simulator FEA", in a comprehensive lab component. Course Objectives (1) Calculate velocity and acceleration for any resolute of prismatic linkage connection (2) Analyze all forms of trochoid motion. (3) Calculate step-up or reduction ratios for complex gear trains, including those with epicycloids and hypocycloid elements. (4) Design plate cams (5) Design wedge cams
