Weekly Delivery
• 3 lectures and 1 hours GTA led Seminar session (excluding lab
week)

Kinematics and Kinetics
Lecturer: Dr Mohammad Al-Amin
Delivery Weeks: 16-19 (12 hours lecture+ 4hours Seminar)

Revision Week: 31 (1 hour)

Learning Outcomes
• Analyse the kinematics of some common planar
mechanisms; determine positions, velocities and
accelerations. Apply this analysis to key engineering
planar mechanisms.

• Model the internal and external forces and torques

(kinetics) in some common planar mechanisms
necessary to maintain a kinematic state.

Kinematics
⁎ Analysis of kinematics
in different bars in a
linkage:

• Position
• Velocity
• Acceleration

Kinetics in Planar Structures

⁎ Apply Newton’s laws of motion to

solve:

• Static equilibrium in planar

structures
• Dynamics in planar structures
• Real world applications

Balancing and Engine Configurations
Lecturer: Dr Albert Bartók-Pártay

Delivery Weeks: 20 (4 hours lecture+ 4hours Seminar)

Revision Week: 32 (1 hour)

Learning Outcomes

Understand how mechanism

inertia can lead to shaking forces
and calculate how to compensate
for such forces (balance) in some
important special cases.

Balancing of Rotating Systems

• Rotary Shaft Balance

– Single plane effects – Static Balance
– Multi-plane effects – Dynamic
Balance

Planar Structures/Materials
Module Tutor: Dr Albert Bartók-Pártay

Delivery Weeks: 21-24 (12 hours lecture+ 4hours Seminar)

Revision Week: 32 (1 hour), including Dynamic Balancing
Learning Outcomes
• Create, apply and analyse models for stress configurations in planar mechanisms and
demonstrate a developed understanding of the role of stiffness under general loading
conditions. Appreciate the effect of dimensional scaling and material property ratios.
• Demonstrate a developed understanding of the limitations of linear elastic theory under general
loading conditions.
• Select and apply some common states of stress and strain and the typical failure criteria that
arise from them. Assess material suitability in terms of application criteria.
