MECHANICS OF MACHINES

Overview

The Mechanics of Machines course provides fundamentals of mechanics of machines, including principles, kinematic and dynamic laws, and mechanical components.

Aims and Content

Learning Outcomes

The course aims to provide students with knowledge of kinematic, static, and dynamic analysis of machines, as well as basic mechanical components. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand phenomena related to kinematics, statics, and dynamics of machines, and evaluate mechanical characteristics of basic components.

Aims and Learning Outcomes

The course provides operational concepts regarding functionality of mechanical systems used in industrial contexts. Students will acquire knowledge of fundamental issues related to industrial mechanical systems and be able to understand phenomena related to kinematics, statics, and dynamics of machines.

Teaching Methods

The course consists of 60 hours of lectures, conducted both at the blackboard and with a projector. Theoretical topics are accompanied by practical exercises. Students with disabilities or Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) may request compensatory/dispensatory measures for the exam.
