GENERAL GOALS This course, through the study of kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms and machines, aims to provide the knowledge and methodologies to understand the behavior of mechanical systems like 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, construction, and engineering implementation, in synergy with the contents of the other courses of the same year of the course. The study is carried out through physical and mathematical models which are of both applicative and, more generally, formative importance because it stimulates creativity and critical skills, as necessary requirements for their conception and use. To this end, some solutions to problems already known in the technical literature are also presented, particularly emblematic from the previous points of view. SPECIFIC GOALS The set of activities that the course involves the attendance of lessons and complementary exercises of the tutor, the autonomous study both theoretical and applicative and the final written and oral tests, are aimed at achieving the following results. 1. Learning and analysis of methods to describe the dynamics of mechanical systems and knowledge of the most common and significant mechanisms, industrial machines, and land vehicles. 2. Skill and inventiveness to conceive models for the representation of real mechanical systems through the methods learned. 3. Autonomy in the search for the optimal solution to face the concrete problems proposed. 4. Critical capacity to outline the limits of validity of the models and analyses treated. 5. Synthesis and exposition skills necessary to answer theoretical and applicative questions in the manner requested during the written test.
