THEORY OF MACHINE AND MACHINE DESIGN

This course provides a prologue to the concepts of machines and mechanism used in textile engineering fields. The focus is to illustrate the basic concepts of different mechanisms in different applications. Students will obtain an in-depth knowledge about flywheel, governor, cam-follower, balancing mass and energy system, vibration etc. This course also aims to analyze the stresses and deflections due to various loading. It also investigates specific design problems through the application of the theory of elasticity, failure criteria, energy approach, and numerical methods.

Upon completion of this course, students will have the competence to understand principles of different mechanism systems as well as will be able identify their practical uses. The learning approach is to build the basics of machine, mechanism and vibration concepts. This course also intends to incorporate the information that the student has gained earlier in their program and to focus the student's analytical skills towards amalgamation of arrangements by working through the design of several simple, commonly used devices. 

Students will achieve comprehension of the working principle of different machines and will gain the knowledge to connect systems based on their understanding in textile engineering fields.
