Description:

Theory of machines (TOM) is a branch of engineering that studies the relative motion of machine parts and the forces that act on them.

Key Highlights:

• Demonstrate the working principle for different types of mechanism used in different machines.
• Determine the velocity ratio for different types of gear train and power transmitted by belt drive.
• Select specific mechanical power transmission drives for given application.
• Draw the profile of radial cam for transmitting given motion of follower.
• Choose relevant brakes and clutches for various applications.
• Determine the mass of flywheel required for given crank-effort diagram of an engine / machine.
• Locate the position of balance mass for a rotating component containing several unbalanced masses in different planes.
