Introduction
Mechanics of Machines: is defined as the branch of science, which deals with the study of relative motion between the various parts of a machine, and forces which act on them.

Mechanics of Machines can be subdivided into two branches they are Statics and Dynamics. This lab covers the basic concept of courses on Grashof four bar mechanism, Slider crank mechanism, Scotch Yoke Mechanism, Elliptical Trammel, Tchebichev Straight Line Mechanism, Peaucellier Straight Line Mechanism.

Objective

Lab deals simulations experiments on the mechanics of machines components. These experiments aims at enhancing the knowledge of students on the different mechanisms, to build mathematical models and develop position, velocity and acceleration relations. After completing every simulation experiment in the mechanics of machines lab the students can able to understand basic concepts on different mechanisms.
