Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

Planar and 3D motions kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies and mechanisms; linkages, gears, cams; synthesis and analysis of mechanisms; consideration of the static and dynamic forces in machines; vibration analysis, response to shock, motion and force transmissibility, vibration isolation. Students with credit for ENSC 282 may not take MSE 222 for further credit.

COURSE DETAILS:

This course introduces the methods used to analyze the movement of a system of interconnected bodies (i.e. a “mechanism”) under the action of applied forces and moments. This course will teach the student how to determine the velocities and accelerations of all bodies in the system, and how to determine the reaction forces and moments at all connections. Planar kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies and mechanisms and linkages will be covered. Concepts such as vibration analysis, response to shock, motion and force transmissibility, vibration isolation, 3D motions, kinematic/kinetic analysis of gears, and cams might be covered.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html

RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION

Students with a faith background who may need accommodations during the term are encouraged to assess their needs as soon as possible and review the Multifaith religious accommodations website. The page outlines ways they begin working toward an accommodation and ensure solutions can be reached in a timely fashion.
