Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
The following modules (or equivalents) should be preferably completed prior to, or in conjunction with, this module:
 VBG873 Mechanics of Machines 1
 VBH624 Advanced Engineering Mathematics 1
 VBH625 Advanced Engineering Mathematics 2
Course Description
The purpose of this module is to provide participants with the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to describe and analyse the effects of forces on the motion of rigid bodies and vibrating systems, in order to predict dynamical behaviour in preparation for engineering design. The module is a follow on from Mechanics of Machines 1, and also facilitates articulation to Degree courses in Engineering (Mechanical/Manufacturing).

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner should be able to:
1. Solve engineering problems relating to the Kinematics of rigid bodies moving with planar motion.
2. Use Newton’s Second Law of Motion to solve engineering problems relating to the Kinetics of rigid bodies subjected to unbalanced Forces and Moments, resulting in planar motion.
3. Use Work - Energy methods to solve engineering problems relating to the Kinetics of rigid bodies moving with planar motion.
4. Use Impulse and Momentum principles to solve engineering problems relating to the Kinetics of rigid bodies moving with planar motion.
5. Solve engineering problems relating to the dynamic behaviour of vibrating single-degree of freedom systems.
Details of Learning Activities
Class room lecturing, problem solving with different data"s and parameters and Applying mathmatical steps. Students will be educated to thing and analyse the data available and find the solution.

Marking Guide for Assessment of OENG5195 Mechanics of Machines -2.
Distribution Of marks (general Format- It may vary during the course running. Changes will be notified) for Each Questions are as follows
| S.no | Marking Criteria | Percentage of Allocated Mark per Question |
| 1 | writing down the data given clearly |
10% |
| 2 | selecting the correct formula or equation and writing down |
10% |
| 3 | Clearly demonstrating the Prroblem solving techniques used and presented | 60% |
| 4 | Using Appropriate units | 10% |
| 5 | Correct Answers | 10% |
| 6 | Total | 100% |
Problem solving techniques means:
1. Read the problem carefully and try to correlate the actual physical situation with the theory you studied.
2. Draw any necessary diagrams and tabulate the problem data.
3. Establish a coordinate system and apply any relevant mathematical principles.
4. Solve the necessary equations algebraically, then use consistent set of units and complete the solution numerically. Report the answers with its units
5. Study the answers using technical judgement and common sense determine whether or not it seems reasonable.
Other Information
Tests are conducted under closed book conditions, formula sheets and / or extracts of reference material will be provided as appropriate. In order to pass this module the learner must obtain a 50% of marks in combination of Unit test 1 and Main Exam. Please refer The course calender handouts for more detail. Student should clearly demonstrate how the problem solving techniques used in the test to score full marks.
Marks will be based on how neat, clear description and presentation of your assessment. To be successful, it is necessary to present the work in a logical and orderly manner as suggested by the following sequence of steps
a. Read the problem carefully and try to correlate the actual physical situation with the theory you have studied.
b. Draw any necessary diagrams and tabulate the problem data.
c. Establish coordinate system or moment/force diagram and apply the relevant principles and formulas, generally in mathematical form.
d. Solve the necessary equations algebraically as far as practical; then, use a consistent set of units and complete the solution numerically. Report the answer clearly with its units of measurement. Answering like “Use of Calculator arrived the result like.” will not be acceptable.
e. Study the answer using technical judgment and review the problem
