The course objective is systematic modelling of kinematics and dynamics of machines represented as multibody systems. Based on matrix algebra, vector calculus and partial and time derivatives, machine components and their variation with time are represented in a mathematical format. The students will be able to derive complex joints such as bearings, couplers, cams and gears by use of fundamental geometric conditions such as cross and dot products. Force elements are derived for linear as well as rotational actuators, springs and bushings. The principle of virtual work is introduced in deriving the equations of motion for planar systems. Methods for numerical solution of position, velocity and acceleration of kinematic determined systems are introduced. The combined differential and algebraic equations describing the equations of motion and constraint equations are solved using numerical integrations techniques
