Semester III
Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines
Type of course: Professional Core Course
Prerequisite:
Rationale: Kinematics and dynamics of machine is a fundamental course for

production/manufacturing and industrial engineering. It is intended to introduce essential elements of
machines and their functionality. This course is essential for kinematics analysis of machine elements
like linkages, cams, belt, rope and gear. Fundamentals of vibration, balancing and gyroscope are
essential for dynamic analysis of machine.
