Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner should be able to:
1. Calculate natural frequency for free damped vibration for simple mechanical rotating systems from basic principles.
2. Carry out vibration tests for various machine types, and static balance tests for rotating machines.
3. Calculate (using vector diagrams) absolute and relative velocity/acceleration using vector analysis of simple mechanical linkages and slider crank mechanisms.
4. Determine speed and direction of various components in geared mechanisms.
Overview of Assessment
Assessment for this module will consist of the following:
written assignments and laboratory practicals throughout the program and a written examination at the completion of the course.
