Advanced topics in the kinematics, statics, and dynamics of mechanisms and high-speed machinery. A study of analytical, graphical, and numerical techniques that can be applied to the analysis and design of mechanisms and machines. Practical examples will include linkages, gear mechanisms, and cam-follower mechanisms. The lectures and the course work will focus on a study of single-loop and multi-loop mechanisms with a single input.
