Static force analysis- Analysis of four bar linkages and slider crank mechanism, graphical
method, Matrix method, principle of virtual work. Analysis of four bar and slider crank
mechanisms with sliding and pin friction.
Gyroscopic couples-spin, precession and applied gyroscopic couple vectors-effects on the
stability of two wheelers, four wheelers, sea vessels and air crafts, application of
gyroscopes
Static balancing-dynamic balancing-balancing of several masses in the same plane-several
masses in different planes-graphical and analytical method-force and couple polygons.
Balancing of reciprocating masses -Single cylinder engine-multi cylinder engine -V-engine
