ME501

This document outlines the course objectives and content for an advanced mechanisms course in machine design. The course covers [1] advanced kinematics of plane motion including topics like inflection circles and Euler-Savary equations; [2] graphical synthesis methods for mechanisms like four-bar linkages; and [3] analytical synthesis methods using Freudenstein's equation and component synthesis. It also covers manipulator kinematics using the Denavit-Hartenberg notation and the kinematic analysis of serial manipulators. The course aims to teach the design of new machines to solve industrial problems through advanced mechanism design concepts.
