Machine theory may be defined as a field of engineering that deals with the study of relative motion between various elements of a machine and the forces acting on them. In kinematics, mechanisms are the means by which relative motion is transmitted, controlled, or constrained.
A machine is a combination of components which can transmit power in a controlled manner and which is capable of performing useful work. A machine consists of a number of kinematically related links. Stresses, deformations, and failure criteria as applied to shafts, springs, belts, bearings, and gears are all factors that influence the proportioning of machine elements. Mechanical engineering students must take Design of Elements as a prerequisite. This course provides an overview of the fundamental principles of modern engineering [1]. It equips students with core engineering abilities as well as the capacity to put scientific theories into reality.
In kinematics, mechanisms are the means by which relative motion is transmitted, controlled, or constrained. The central theme of the mechanism is a rigid body connected by a joint [2]. It can also be defined as a combination of resistors shaped and connected to move with each other in a particular relative motion.
A machine is a combination of rigid or resistant bodies, formed and connected in such a way that they move with definite relative motions with each other and transmit force also. A machine has two functions: transmitting definite relative motion and transmitting force. The term mechanism is applied to the combination of geometrical bodies which constitute a machine or part of a machine mechanisms include:
Kinematic analysis of mechanism
Various mechanisms have their own exits when they start working. The mechanism is analyzed by calculating its position, velocity, and acceleration at various points in the mechanism. Velocity and acceleration analysis at each point in the mechanism does not require calculating the forces and stresses acting on each part of the mechanism. In other words, when analyzing the movement of a particular mechanism, there is no need to consider the cross-sectional area or strength of the parts of that mechanism. Also, it doesn't matter if the part is cast iron, wood, or something else to study motion analysis.
Dynamics of mechanism
This includes calculating the forces exerted on different parts of the mechanism. The force applied to the mechanism can be divided into statics and kinetics. In statics, force studies are performed when all parts of the mechanism are in equilibrium [3]. In dynamics, there is a study of inertial forces that can be generated by the combination of mass and movement of parts.
Machines and tools in mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineers solve problems by redesigning tools to increase the efficacy of machines [4]. The Machine Tools and Technology (MTT) mechanical workshop is well equipped with various machining centres for use in manufacturing components of test pieces, complex parts and trials.
Machine tools are machines that are typically used to manipulate or process metal or other rigid materials by cutting, drilling, grinding, shearing, or other forms of deformation. Machine tools use certain tools to perform cutting or forming [5]. Throughout history, society has invented and built sophisticated devices and machines to improve quality of life and efficiency. Mechanical engineers create moving parts such as wheels, springs, hinges, levers, axles, etc.
Mechanical engineering machines include the Hurco VM-2 and Hurco VM-10, among others. These machines are the backbone of mechanical engineering workshops. They can be programmed to machine a variety of materials through conversational programming, DFX transfer, and CAD/CAM. Mechanical engineering machines and tools are used for a variety of purposes, including:
• Prosthetics design
• Nanotechnology
• Precision machinery calibration
• Informing public policy by demonstrating design standards and replacements on failure spots and safety margins.
