2 MEC2405 – Machine dynamics
Introduction
This book is your guide to studying the course MEC2405 Machine Dynamics. It contains a study schedule as well as some general information you might find useful.
Machine Dynamics is a compulsory course in the Bachelor of Technology and the Associate Degree Program. In broad terms it develops the basic physical relationships between forces and motion and then applies these to a range of common practical situations and devices.
The external study package comprises study modules to a set text. Additionally some topics are supported by the DVD Applied mechanics 3rd edition. The DVD will be made available on loan for this semester from the USQ library. However, you can order your own copy from the USQ Bookshop if you would like to retain a personal copy.
The choice of textbook for this course was a real problem. There are several modern, well presented texts that cover the basic theory but do so at a more advanced mathematical level than is necessary for either the Bachelor of Technology or the Associate Degree.
At the other end of the spectrum were several texts which either were at too low an analytical level or were rather uninspiring in their presentation. Few in either category provided the practical application that I wanted.
The chosen text is by Ryder and Bennett. Its development of basic theory is about the right mathematical/analytical level, it covers the full range of topics treated by this course and it does incorporate practical applications. However some of you might find its descriptions and explanations rather terse. Therefore, expanded explanations are provided in the study book for those topics you might find difficult. Finally, Ryder and Bennett have set some pretty tough problems. Don’t be surprised or upset if you cannot do those that are not listed – they generally contain quite tricky (but interesting) aspects that expect analytical/mathematical ability beyond this course. Ryder and Bennett is a little short of suitable level problems in some topics. Supplementary problems in those cases are provided in the study books. The problems from Ryder and Bennett that you are expected to do are listed in the study books.
Course leader
The examiner for this course is Peter Penfold. Peter obtained a fitting and turning trade certificate and was later employed as a drafter in a tool design drawing office. Peter joined the faculty in 1977 and has been involved in many aspects of project design and manufacture for both postgraduate and undergraduate programs. Since 1985 Peter has been a part of the teaching team for the Mechanical Discipline.

Presentation of course
The course is presented as 13 modules each of which deals with a single topic or group of closely related topics.
1. Introduction
2. Kinematics – linear motion of a particle
3. Kinematics – angular motion of a particle
4. Kinematics – rigid body motion
5. Kinematics of mechanisms
6. Kinetics
7. Work, energy and power
8. Impulse and momentum
9. Friction brakes/clutches and belt drives
10. Balancing rotating masses
11. Bearings (refer to the note on the previous page)
12. Geared systems
13. Vibration
While these modules are largely independent of each other and could be studied in any order, the following study schedule is suggested:
• to assist you to allocate an appropriate amount of time to each module
• to ensure that you have the requisite knowledge to complete the assignments by the set dates.

Resources
DVD
The DVD Applied mechanics, 3rd edition, is required as part of the course materials. It comprises a series of short topics (nominally 10 minutes duration) – each being very much specific to a module in this course.
Modules which have a video recording to complement the text display this symbol on the module title page.
To obtain a copy on loan of this DVD log on to DocEx on the Library website. Access can be gained from the USQ website>The Library> Off-Campus Students (under Information For…).
Remember: Fines and penalties will be incurred for late return or late renewal of the item on loan. This DVD must be returned to the USQ Library by the end of the semester.
You can purchase your own copy of this DVD by placing an order at the USQ Bookshop.

Assessment
See the course specification for the details of the assessment of this course.
In broad terms I believe that students need continual assessment and immediate feedback while they are actually studying so that they can recognise any misunderstandings they might be developing. They also need to do exercises that will develop their self-confidence to handle real problems. This is the purpose of the many solved problems given in the study modules and the ‘formative’ self-assessed problems available from the USQStudyDesk. These do not carry any marks towards your final grade, but they should help you to identify and correct any misunderstandings that you might have.
The summative assessment in this course consists of:
• one assignment worth 400 marks
• an open book examination worth 600 marks.
The final exam will be open book and will cover the whole of the course. Sample examination papers are given in this book and are also available on the USQStudyDesk.
Assessment scheme
The following table shows the course objectives assessed for each assessment piece.
Assignment Examination

2. Use the free body diagram method to solve simple problems involving the forces on particles and rigid bodies and their resulting planar motion
3. Calculate the velocity and acceleration of any point within a simple 2D mechanism
4. Apply the principles of work-energy and impulse-momentum to the analysis of simple bodies in 2D motion
5. Calculate the dynamic forces resulting from out-of-balance masses and determine the corrective masses to balance that system
6. Determine the dynamic behaviour of a range of common engineering devices
7. Analyse the vibrational response of simple single-degree-of-freedom systems to determine damped and undamped frequencies, amplitude and the forces transmitted to the system’s support

Assignment
Question 1 (80 marks)
Rod AO is rotating counter clockwise about O and decelerates uniformly from 60 rpm to 20 rpm in a 0.8 second period. At the same time block B is moving outward and accelerating at 0.5 m/s2. At a particular instance in time AO is rotating at 45 rpm and is 30° below the horizontal. At the same instant block B is at a position 60 mm from O and moving at a velocity of 0.2 m/s. Determine the nett acceleration of the block at this instance.
Question 2 (80 marks)
A projectile is fired at an elevation of 30° with an initial velocity of 36 m/s. If the landing elevation is 20 m below the launch elevation and ignoring air resistance, calculate the:
(i) maximum height reached during the flight as measured from the launch elevation
(ii) total flight time
(iii) horizontal distance travelled
(iv) velocity at impact

A 10000 kg truck travelling at 5.5 m/s along a straight level road rear ends a 1300 kg passenger vehicle travelling at 2.2 m/s in the same direction. If the coefficient of restitution between the two vehicles is 0.4 determine the velocity of each vehicle immediately after impact.
Question 4 (80 marks)
A shaft is supported by bearings at D and E as shown in the diagram below. The axial locations for planes containing out-of-balance masses A, B, and C are also depicted.
Out-of-balance at A is equivalent to 0.5 kg mass at a radius of 50 mm.
Out-of-balance at B is equivalent to 0.75 kg mass at a radius of 60 mm.
Out-of-balance at C is equivalent to 1.5 kg mass at a radius of 40 mm.
Determine the magnitude and the angular location of the bearing reaction forces when the shaft rotates at 500 rpm.
