 Description:
| Aims & Learning
Objectives:
To model and analyse some mechanical problems that are relevant to various fields of electrical engineering.
After completing this unit it should be possible to: set up and solve equations that represent static and dynamic systems; perform calculations on rotating systems with unbalance.
Content:
Force systems and solution of problems in two and three dimensional statics, and dynamics including effects of friction. Dynamic problems to be solved using force-mass-acceleration, work-energy or impulse-momentum approaches. Examples of translational and rotational motion of rigid bodies; motion of self-propelled vehicles, drives incorporating gears and flywheels. Control of vibration; balancing of rotating machinery.
