Kinematics of Machinery ME1252

Kinematics is a branch of classical mechanics which describes the motion of objects without consideration of the causes leading to the motion. The other branch is dynamics, which studies the relationship between the motion of objects and its causes. Kinematics is not to be confused with kinetics, and to dynamics as used in modern day physics.
The simplest application of kinematics is for particle motion, translational or rotational. The next level of complexity is introduced by the introduction of rigid bodies, which are collections of particles having time invariant distances amongst themselves. Rigid bodies might undergo translation and rotation or a combination of both.
This is an initiative which I have meticulously consolidated to benefit my student and the learners of kinematics. Most of the content covers the syllabus III Semester Mechanical Engineering prescribed by Anna university .
