IMEC 2543 Machinery Dynamics - First Semester 2018

Department of Mechanical Engineering - Compulsory Course - Third Year

Course Description
This course deals with the analysis of machinery from the point of view of movement,
considering the effect of the geometry of the parts that make up the machines and the
dynamic behavior of its components. The associated forces and power required for the
operation of machines are estimated, also analyzing the power transmission elements
used to move them.

Pre-requisites
Previously you have been exposed to courses in Mechanical Systems Dynamics and
Rigid Solid Mechanics, where you have acquired a foundation in dynamic systems
modeling.

Curriculum Objectives
This course prepares you in the analysis of machinery from the geometric and dynamic
points of view. At the end of the course you will be prepared for:
∙ Evaluate the performance of mechanisms using analysis methodologies. ∙ Develop
mathematical models to evaluate the dynamic behavior of machines
∙ Recommend alternatives to modify the dynamic behavior of machines.

Training Results - ABET

This course contributes in the formation of the following competences:
(a) apply the principles of engineering, basic science and mathematics (including
multivariate calculus and differential equations) to model, analyze and construct
physical systems, components or processes and work professionally in the areas
of thermal and mechanical systems.
(c) design a system, component or process to meet needs. (e) identify,
formulate and solve engineering problems.
(k) apply modern tools in the solution of engineering problems

Evaluation - Rating
 The evaluation will be based on partial and short evaluations. The grade will be obtained
as follows:
∙ Partial results: 35% each.
∙ Short evaluations 30%.

Methodology

The methodology to be followed in class corresponds to the cooperative learning model.

The students are linked in teams to work during the course. Evaluation methods will be
used at various levels: team, individual and inter-group.

The course is divided into two main parts. For each part an open problem will be
proposed. Through these problems the fundamentals of the course will be reviewed. For
this, every week an activity associated with a fundamental theme will be proposed that
will be applicable in the process of solution of the open problem.

The learning of each key topic will be evaluated through a short individual assessment
on the Tuesday of the next week it was proposed. The short evaluation grade will be
calculated for each team member by averaging the grade they earned on their own
evaluation with the minimum grade earned among the team members. The score for the
open-ended problem solution will be the same for all team members.

To develop the activities, students will assume the following roles within their teams

∙ Director: He will be responsible for leading the discussions and following up on the
proposed tasks during the team meetings.
∙ Rapporteur: He will be in charge of taking the minutes of the project. The minutes must
contain the agreements made during the meetings.
∙ Compiler: Will compile and maintain the portfolio of activities. The portfolio contains the
partial results achieved by the team. It must be kept in a ring binder.

Roles can be rotated, especially at the beginning of the course as the team identifies the
best members for each role.

At the beginning of each activity the team members consider the statement of the
activity individually. Afterwards, the Director leads the next process:

1. Clarification of the statement. The team shares the individual interpretation of the
statement and identifies if there are confusing words or concepts, in which case,
the team's first cooperative task is to clarify the statement. The director then
guides the group to reach agreement on the activity to be performed.

2. Brainstorming. The team builds hypotheses that allow the activity to be carried out
 based on the previous knowledge that the members have. If the team detects that
it is necessary to acquire new knowledge, then they must move on to the next
step. If not, they can proceed with knowledge synthesis.

3. Consensus. The team makes an inventory of what was said in the previous steps
and the Director leads the discussion to reach a consensus about what has been
understood from the activity's approach, which are the points that require more
learning and which should be the approaches to follow to carry out the activity.

4. Formulation of learning objectives. The team agrees on the learning objectives of

the activity. These objectives are for all team members, that is, there should be
no specialization of knowledge.

5. Individual research. Team members individually collect the information needed to

meet the proposed learning objectives. This step may involve reading texts,
studying mathematical theories or models, developing examples and exercises
proposed in texts, conducting simulations or experiments.

6. Synthesis of knowledge. In the next session the Rapporteur reads the learning
objectives agreed upon in the previous session. Team members make
contributions to carry out the activity. The Director may lead this process formally
(asking each member for his or her contribution) or informally (asking for
spontaneous participation). Usually the formal process is more effective. Once
the contributions are completed, they proceed to the analytical stage where the
team uses the knowledge acquired in terms of mathematical theories and models,
experiments or simulations to carry out the activity. If the learning objectives have
been achieved, the next step can be taken. Otherwise, the team must agree on
commitments for additional activities and new meetings to synthesize new
information.

7. Presentation of results. The results are presented in formats established in the

proposal of the activity. In any case the Compiler must keep the documents with
partial results.

The inter-group evaluation is conducted weekly and is based on the information each
student provides about the other members of his or her team. The information is
confidential and has several aspects: relationship with the other members of the team,
fulfillment of commitments, excellence in their performance, etc. This evaluation system is
very effective because it allows a quick identification of team members who do not
contribute to the common goal.

A member who breaks his or her commitments begins to lose the trust of his or her peers.
If a team member has chronically failed to meet his or her commitments and the rest of the
team feels that they cannot regain trust in him or her, they should promote a team meeting
in the teacher's office. The team can then send a memo to the member in question
announcing that unless he or she changes his or her behavior, he or she will be terminated
from the team. If after a reasonable time (at least one week) the behavior persists, the rest
of the team may send a second memo informing him or her of the dismissal.

Similarly, if a member is doing all the work on the team, he or she can send a memo to the
rest of his or her colleagues informing them that unless their behavior changes, they will
quit the team. If after a reasonable period of time (at least one week) his or her teammates
do not change their performance, the affected member may send a second memo
informing them of his or her resignation. All memos must be sent in writing with a copy to
the teacher.

Students who quit or are fired are responsible for finding another team. In any case, no
team may have less than 3 or more than 5 members. As long as a student is not a member
of a team, he or she may not submit short evaluations, reports, prototypes, or work
progress, and as a consequence will be assigned a grade of zero in the respective grades.
