Aim Of Concept:

• To understand the basic components and layout of linkages in the assembly of a system machine.
• To understand the principles in analyzing the assembly with respect to the displacement, velocity, and acceleration at any point in a link of a mechanism.
• To understand the motion resulting from a specified set of linkages, design few linkage mechanisms and cam mechanisms for specified output motions.
• To understand the basic concepts of toothed gearing and kinematics of gear trains and the effects of friction.
