The main purpose of the course is to study the kinematic and dynamic behavior of mechanisms and machines from an applicative point of view, for to understand the functioning of the mechanical systems and to develop kinematic and dynamic models of them. Problems are sometimes approached in different ways presenting both exact and approximated methodologies.
The first part of the course includes the study of: a) linkages and mechanisms, b) the dynamic behavior of a general machine including a motor, a transmission and a power consumer, c) friction and methodologies to limit it (lubrication, ball bears), d) basic concepts on vibrations.
A second part of the course presents the principles of some popular basic components of machines (e.g. gears, belt transmissions, breaks, ball bearings).
Finally this corse also includes the description of the working principles of some common machines (e.g. pumps, turbines, air compressors, internal combustion engines) including a discussion of their "external characteristics" and global performances.
