MAE145 - Theory of Machines and Mechanisms Mechanical And Aerospace Engineering Department Univ. of California at Irvine, Irvine, CA

Instructor:         Dr. Sam Kassegne (sk@digitaladdis.com)

Brief Course Introduction

Theory of Machines and Mechanisms is a study of linear and angular displacements, velocities, accelerations of points and bodies, and the static and dynamic forces required for the proper design of mechanical linkages, cams, and geared systems. The course covers both static force analysis of mechanisms and dynamic analysis of linkages.
