GENERAL OBJECTIVES
This course, through the study of the kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms and machines, aims to provide the knowledge and methodologies to understand the behavior of mechanical systems that can be assimilated to sets of rigid bodies connected to each other and to elastic and dissipative elements. The analysis is aimed at identifying the causes that determine the observed behavior of mechanical systems for the purposes of their subsequent design, production and engineering implementation, in synergy with the contents of the other courses of the same year of the course.
The study is carried out using physical and mathematical models which have both applicative and, more generally, educational importance because they stimulate creativity and critical skills, as necessary requisites for their conception and use. For this purpose some solutions of problems already known in the technical literature are also presented, particularly emblematic from the previous points of view.
