Students are introduced to wide array of problems of mechanism synthesis.

Students are able to apply synthesis of mechanisms to practical problems.

General conditions of mechanism assembly, mobility and efficiency. Synthesis of mechanisms for a designated kinematics task. Graphical and analytical methods of synthesis of mechanisms for motion generation, path generation and function generation. Synthesis of mechanisms for a designated dynamic task. Synthesis of cam mechanisms (general conditions of efficiency, choice of laws of motion, synthesis for a designated dynamic and dynamic task). Synthesis of complex mechanisms. Basics of optimal synthesis. Application of synthesis methods in design of real mechanisms. Evaluation and analysis of designed mechanisms.

Teaching methods include: lectures; graphic and computer practice classes, consultations.
