TRANSCRIPT
Brief Description :
Introduction to synthesis, graphical and
analytical methods in dimensional
synthesis. Two, three and four positions of a
plane. Correlation of crank angles.
Classical Transmission angle problem.
Optimization for the transmission angle.
Current topics in mechanisms.
o Course Objectives :
o The objective of the course is, on one
hand, to provide sufficient theoretical
background to understand
contemporary mechanism design
techniques and , on the other hand, to
develop skills for applying these
theories in practice for the senior
mechanical engineering students. The
lectures are supplemented by practical
mechanism design problems.
Course Content :
1. Introduction.
2. Two positions of a moving plane.
3. Two positions of a plane relative to
another moving plane.
4. Design for dead centers.
5. Analytical synthesis for function
generation.
6. Three positions of a moving plane.
7. Four positions of a moving plane
8. Robert-Chebishev Theorem.
9. Cam Design.

Tool:
In the old days we used
pencil, ruler, triangle,
protractor,etc. to solve the
synthesis problems. Today
we use COMPUTER. We
shall use SolidWorks® for
graphical solutions. For
analytical solutions Excel®,
MathCad® and Matlab®
can be used. I will mainly
use Excel since it is the
cheapest of the three.
