1. Course Description
Course overview
Dynamics of machinery is an applied field of mechanical engineering that is concerned with
understanding the relationship between the geometry and the motions of the parts of a machine and
the forces that produce this motion. This course helps to learn how to analyze the motions of
mechanisms, design mechanisms to have given motions, and analyze forces in machines.

Course Pre/Co-Requisites:
A5302-Engineering Mechanics
A5307- Kinematics Of Machinery
