Machine Dynamics
During this course, a systematic approach is presented with which machine kinematics and machine dynamics can be described. Immerse yourself in the theoretical background of machine dynamics.
Getting started with machine dynamics
The dynamic analysis of complex machines is often required to determine the machine’s motion and the forces that act during this motion. This is important for the purpose of strength analysis and determining the required driving forces, which could be used for design improvements or optimization.
In this course, a systematic procedure is presented to describe the machine kinematics and machine dynamics. To this end, kinematic constraints are formulated in terms of a carefully selected set of coordinates. Then, the system’s equation of motion is derived, taking these kinematic constraints into account.
It is explained in which specific situations hand calculations can still be used to establish relations between the velocities and accelerations of several machine components. It will also be explained what numerical techniques can be used to analyze the machine dynamics of the most general multibody systems.
Getting started with machine dynamics
At the end of this course you are able to:
- formulate kinematic constraints for various types of joints
- perform velocity and acceleration analysis
- formulate equations of motion
- determine constraint forces during motion
- set-up relevant numerical solution procedures
- perform relevant analytical hand calculations
Intended for
This course is intended for engineers in the field of machine design and analysis. In particular it is relevant for engineers that have plenty of experience in static analysis and/or finite element analysis that want to have a solid introduction or recapitulation of the field of machine dynamics.

Frequently asked questions
In-company
Are several employees interested in the same course, do you want to enrich knowledge with the entire team or focus on your own practice? Then an in-company course could be interesting. We are happy to think along with you about the possibilities. PAOTM has extensive experience in organizing in-company courses in many technical fields for a wide range of companies. You can choose to have an existing course organized in-company for multiple employees. However, if you have a specific organizational or departmental issue, we can also design a unique course. For every customized request, we search our network at universities, knowledge institutes and the business community for the right teachers who can provide your team with the desired knowledge. We then put together a course based on your training needs, learning needs and organizational goals.
