Introduction

The subject Theory of Machines may be defined as that


branch of Engineering-science, which deals with the study
of relative motion between the various parts of a machine,
and forces which act on them. The knowledge of this
subject is very essential for an engineer in designing the
various parts of a machine.
Sub-divisions of Theory of Machines

Kinematics: The study of motion without regard to forces.


More particularly, kinematics is the study of position,
displacement, rotation, speed, velocity, and acceleration.

Dynamics: Deals with the forces and their effects while


acting upon the machine parts in motion.

Kinetics: The study of inertia forces on systems in motion


which arise from the combined effect of the mass and
motion of the machine parts.

Statics: Deals with the forces and their effects while the
machine parts in rest.
Mechanism VS Machine

A mechanism: is a device that transforms motion to some


desirable pattern and typically develops very low forces
and transmits little power.

A machine: typically contains mechanisms that are


designed to provide significant forces and transmit
significant power.
