MET 31200 - Dynamics And Mechanisms


The slider crank, four-bar linkage and Scotch Yoke mechanisms along with cam and follower systems will be studied. Both the kinematics and dynamics of the mechanisms will be covered. Dynamic studies will include both Newton’s Second Law and energy methods.

Preparation for Course
P: ET 19000, MA 22700 and PHYS 21800 with grades or C- or better.
