Program Description
Kinematics and kinetics of moving mechanical systems, vibration, and balancing.
About this course
Dynamics of Machinery covers the kinematics and kinetics of moving mechanical systems, with a focus on vibration and balancing. You will study how forces and motion interact in real-world machinery, building on the statics and materials knowledge from earlier terms. The course combines theoretical analysis with practical applications relevant to mechanical and manufacturing engineering technology.
