MEEG 206 Theory of Machines 3cr.

Course Objectives:
To familiarize with the relative motion of different parts and the forces acting on them, to give aid for the
designing of various parts of machine and other components.

Course Description:

Basic Concepts: Mechanism and machine pairing elements; link, chain and inversions; constrained
and unconstrained motion; four bar mechanism. Single and double side crank with inversion (Specially
quick return, toggle and old hams coupling); Hook coupling.

Cams: Types of cams; types of followers; Cam profiles; graphical methods for SHM and uniform
acceleration and retardation coefficient; radial and oscillating followers.

Balancing of revolving masses: Static and dynamic balancing; effect of single mass & several masses
in the same plane & several planes (graphical method only).

Gears: Spur, Bevel and helical gears; diametral pitch, module and pressu characteristics of
involute profile gears. Interference and method of avoiding it; path an of contact; contact ratio;
minimum number of teeth.

Gear Trains: Simple, compound, reverted, Epicyclic; solution: ar method only; tooth load, torque.

Belt and rope drives; slip; effect of belt thickness; length ts; velocity ratio; ratio of tension.

Vibration: Natural and forced vibration; transm ity; damping and whirling of shafts. Natural
frequency and critical speed.Multirotor system onal vibration.Two and three rotor systems; Nodes.
