THEORY OF MECHANISMS AND MACHINES
508103002

Description
At the end of the course Theory of Mechanisms and Machines, 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 and spatial mechanisms, identifying the different types of kinematic torques.
2.- Obtain the kinematic structure of a mechanical system and use it as a tool for modelling mechanical systems. Understanding the concepts of kinematic inversion and structural transformation in order to decide the best modelling strategy. 
3.- Model mechanical systems with different types of coordinates.
4.- Solve the kinematic analysis of planar and spatial mechanisms with one or several degrees of freedom by means of computational methods, i.e. determine the positions, velocities and accelerations of all their links at any instant. 
5.- Solve basic problems of dimensional synthesis: function generation, connecting rod guidance and trajectory generation by means of graphical and computational methods.
6.- Apply D¿Alambert¿s principle to obtain the equation of motion of a mechanical system and for the analysis of forces in static and inverse dynamics problems.
7.- Obtain the terms of the equation of equations of motion and integrate it by means of an explicit R-K type method.
8.- Determine binding forces in kinematic pairs as part of the result of the dynamic behaviour of a given system.
9.- Determine the evolution in the behaviour of any physical magnitude related to a given mechanical system at any instant or position of interest.
