THEORY OF MACHINES AND MECHANISMS, Third Edition,
John J. Dicker, Jr
Theory of Machines-S S Rattan (2014)
Chapter 0 –Introduction to Machine Design
Linear Acceleration
Angular Acceleration
3/ Momentum
III. Kinetics of Motion
4/ Force
5/ Moment of a Force
It is the turning effect produced by a force, on the body, on which it
acts.
6/ Couple
The two equal and opposite parallel
forces, whose lines of action are Moment of a couple = F × x
different, form a couple
7/ Centripetal and Centrifugal Force
III. Kinetics of Motion
8/ Torque: is defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance of its line of
action from the given point or axis.
10/Energy: may be defined as the capacity to do work. The energy exists in many
forms e.g. mechanical,electrical, chemical, heat, light etc
1. Potential energy. It is the energy possessed by a body for doing work, by virtue of its
position. Ex: Gravity: PE=mgh, Spring: PE=(1/2)kx 2
2. Kinetic energy: is the energy possessed by a body, for doing work, by virtue of its
mass and velocity of motion.
III. Kinetics of Motion
11/ Principle of Conservation of Energy
It states “The energy can neither be created nor destroyed, though it can be
transformed
from one formand
11/ Impulse intoImpulsive
any of theForce
forms, in which the energy can exist.”
Due to the fact that physical bodies are not perfectly elastic, the relative velocity of two
bodies after impact is always less than the relative velocity before impact
=> coefficient of restitution
III. Kinetics of Motion
Loss of Kinetic Energy During Elastic Impact
