At the end of the course, students will be able to:
1.- Recall the terminology, basic concepts and hypotheses considered in the Theory of Mechanisms and Machines, and apply mobility criteria in planar mechanisms, identifying the.
1.- Recall terminology, basic concepts and hypotheses considered in the Theory of Mechanisms and Machines, and apply mobility criteria in flat mechanisms, identifying the different types of kinematic pairs.
2.- Solve the kinematic analysis of flat mechanisms of one degree of freedom in a given configuration of their links by means of analytical methods, i.e., determine the velocities and accelerations of all the links from the known velocity and acceleration of one of its links.
3.- Identify the different types of forces that can appear in mechanisms and solve the inverse dynamic problem in planar mechanisms of one degree of freedom in a given configuration of their links by means of analytical methods.
Identify the different types of forces that can appear in mechanisms and solve the inverse dynamic problem in planar mechanisms of one degree of freedom in a given configuration of their links by means of analytical methods, i.e. determine the binding forces that appear between the different links as a result of the external forces and the known movement of their links.
4.- Understand the behaviour of a mechanism under the action of external forces, the concept of stability in machines, and calculate flywheels.
5.- Apply vibration analysis to one-degree-of-freedom models, determine critical speeds in rotor-axis systems and understand static balancing in rotors.
6.- Solve the kinematic and dynamic analysis of common flat mechanisms such as those based on the crank-crank-slider assembly or those based on cam-follower systems using commercially available programs.
7.- Understand the kinematics of common mechanical systems such as spur gear transmissions, ordinary and epicyclic gear trains, belt and chain transmissions, shaft coupling and support systems, cam-follower systems, and calculate the transmission ratios in such systems.
8.- Calculate the forces transmitted to the shaft in common mechanical systems such as spur and helical gear drives, belt and chain drives, cam-follower systems, and determine the typical stresses in shafts under the action of such forces.
