It is modeled on traditional applied kinematics courses.Sample topics include: • Introduction to mechanisms • Graphical linkage synthesis • Fourbar, slider-crank, inverted slider-crank and other linkages • Position, velocity and acceleration analysis • Inverse dynamic analysis of linkagesDepending upon the instructor, the mechanical systems are modeled using an a)trigonometric/algebraic approach or b) a vectorial constraint equation approach. In the secondapproach, a system of nonlinear constraint equations is developed for each problem, which issolved using MATLAB or similar software. The author uses the second approach when teaching

For thepurposes of this course project, the students were instructed to make the following simplifyingassumptions: air drag was insignificant, there were no elevation changes of the ground in thevicinity of this event, the vehicle’s rotation was solely about its longitudinal axis during thetumbling phase, and the vehicle rolled along the ground during the tumbling phase (i.e., it did notvault vertically into the air).AnalysesWith the information provided, the students were tasked with completing a series of analyses thatbuilt upon each other: a) Calculate the translational speed of the vehicle center of mass (vG) throughout the event. b
