THE COURSE AIMS TO GIVE THE STUDENT CRITERIA AND METHODS TO CARRY OUT KINEMATIC AND DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF MECHANISMS WITH REFERENCE TO THE MOST RELEVANT APPLICATIONS. TO FACE UP THE COURSE A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF MECHANICS IS REQUIRED, ESPECIALLY WITH REFERENCE TO THE MOTION OF A RIGID BODY ABOUT PRINCIPAL AND NON-PRINCIPAL AXES OF INERTIA. AFTER THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PATH OF THE PARTICLES BELONGING TO THE BODIES CONNECTED TO FORM A MECHANISM, AND TO DRAW THE CONJUGATE CONTOURS OF A PLANAR RIGID PAIR. MOREOVER HE/SHE WILL ACQUIRE THE TOOLS THAT WOULD ENABLE HIM/HER TO SET UP THE COMPLETE KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF MECHANISMS WITH ONE DEGREE OF FREEDOM. THE ANALYSIS OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS WILL BE PRESENTED WITH REFERENCE TO DIFFERENT APPROACHES: QUASI-STATIC, DYNAMIC AND ELASTODYNAMIC. AFTER THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY GENERAL METHODOLOGIES WHICH ENABLE HIM/HER TO EVALUATE FORCES, EFFICIENCY, POWER AND MECHANICAL COUPLING STABILITY.

THE COURSE FURNISHES THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGES TO PERFORM, IN FULL AWARENESS, THE STRUCTURAL CALCULATION IN THE LINEAR ELASTIC FIELD. ON THE BASE OF THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE ELASTIC EQUILIBRIUM PROBLEM AND OF THE ELEMENTS OF STATICS GIVEN IN THE FIRST PART OF THE DISCIPLINE, THEY ARE FOCALIZED, FOR STATIC AND/OR THERMAL LOADS, OPERATIONAL TOOLS FOR THE DIMENSIONING OR THE VERIFICATION OF PLANE ONE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURES, HOWEVER COMPLEX

METHODS, PROCEDURES AND MAIN LAWS IN FORCE, REGARDING INDUSTRIAL, CIVIL AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE ELEMENTS OF CLASSICAL CONTROL THEORY.. IN PARTICULAR UNDERSTAND: THE CONCEPT OF FEEDBACK AND ITS PROPERTIES; THE CONCEPT OF STABILITY AND STABILITY MARGINS; AND THE DIFFERENT TOOLS THAT CAN BE USED TO ANALYZE THE PREVIOUS PROPERTIES. FINALLY GAIN A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIC LINEAR CONTROL DESIGN TECHNIQUES.

THERMODYNAMICS AND FLUID DYNAMICS APPLIED TO MACHINES ANALYZES FLUID MOTION AND ENERGY PROCESSES OF SYSTEMS. AIM OF THE THERMODYNAMICS AND FLUID DYNAMICS APPLIED TO MACHINES IS TO GIVE TO THE STUDENTS METHODOLOGIES THAT MOVING FROM THE SCIENTIFIC CONTENT OF THERMODYNAMICS AND FLUID-DYNAMICS LEAD TO ENGINEERING TOOLS THAT ARE USED TO DESCRIBE PROCESSES INVOLVING CHANGES IN PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, TRANSFORMATION OF ENERGY INTO WORK AND HEAT, AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN HEAT AND WORK. SUCH ENGINEERING TOOLS ARE GENERAL BECAUSE NO HYPOTHESES MADE CONCERNING THE STRUCTURE AND TYPE OF PROBLEM THE ENERGY PROCESSES THAT CONVERT HEAT FROM AVAILABLE ENERGY SOURCES, SUCH AS CHEMICAL FUELS, INTO WORK ARE THE MAJOR CONCERN OF THIS COURSE THAT CONSISTS OF A NUMBER OF ANALYTICAL AND THEORETICAL METHODS WHICH MAY BE APPLIED TO MACHINES TO INDUSTRIAL POWER, HEATING AND COOLING (REFRIGERATION) SYSTEMS.

Aim of the course

Knowledge and understanding

To understand and analyze the strategic, organizational, managerial and economic and financial aspects of the business management, with a specific focus to the productive systems. To integrate quantitative approaches and qualitative variables of the organizational systems. To model systems and to face complex issues, linking economic and organizational competences to technological and engineering-based competences, practical applications and case-studies.

Applying knowledge and understanding

To interpret approaches, methodologies, techniques and tools for the business management, at strategic, managerial and operative level. To understand and read critically changing dynamics about scenario, technologies, organizations to improve business performance.

Making judgements

To develop an inter-disciplinary perspective between engineering and business management.

Communication skills

To improve analysis and presentation skills about managerial issues and tools, linking competences’ portfolios of the students, in particular between industrial and mechanical contents and business management contents. To illustrate critically the results of empirical analysis, case study and exercises.
