Kinematics of Mechanisms and Machines

1. Describe and analyze the motion of mechanical components using kinematic equations.

2. Understand the relationships between displacement, velocity, acceleration, and forces in mechanical systems.

3. Apply kinematic principles to design and optimize mechanical systems, including linkages, gears, and cam mechanisms.

4. Analyze and solve problems involving mechanical advantage, efficiency, and energy transfer.

5. Use graphical and analytical methods to model and analyze complex mechanical systems.
