ME 304 - Introduction to the Design of Mechanisms
- Credit Hours: 4R-0L-4C
- Term Available: -
- Graduate Studies Eligible: No
- Prerequisites: ME 123
- Corequisites: None
This course will cover a set of computational tools to design and analyze mechanisms to achieve specific goals. The specific focus of this course is to study kinematics (study of motion without regards to forces) of a mechanism. Students learn how to model and solve for the position, velocity, acceleration of linkages using vectors. They also study the kinematics of gear trains and specifically, planetary gear trains.
