ABOUT THE COURSE:The course gives an insight into the conceptual design of mechanisms used in products, machines, and devices used in various domains. The course aims to enable the student to recognize problem areas, generate design alternatives and make design choices to achieve precision and reliability, and avoid over-constraints in the design.The course contents include lectures & hands-on experience covering fundamental concepts in precision machine design; controlling Degrees-of-Freedom, exact-constrained design; design of elastic mechanisms/ flexures/ compliant mechanisms; friction, hysteresis and micro-slip; actuators and sensors for precision motion; slideways for long range precision motion, and dynamics of precision mechanisms. The course contents also include different case studies.INTENDED AUDIENCE: UGs and PGs from Mechanical, Materials, Aerospace, Automotive, Civil, and other related engineering branches. Working professionals associated with mechanical design of products, machines, etc.PREREQUISITES: UG courses in Engineering Mechanics, Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines, and Solid Mechanics
