23MET204- Mechanics of Machines

Mechanics of Machines is a core subject in mechanical engineering that deals with the analysis and design of machine components and mechanisms. It focuses on concepts such as kinematics and dynamics of machines, velocity and acceleration analysis, and the study of mechanisms like gears, cams, and linkages. The course also covers balancing of rotating masses and gyroscopic effects in machines. Understanding these principles helps engineers design efficient, stable, and reliable machines used in automobiles, manufacturing equipment, and various industrial applications.
