2 THEORY OF MACHINES
L T P
5 2 -
RATIONALE
A diploma holder in this course is required to assist in the design and development of prototype and
other components. For this, it is essential that he is made conversant with the principles related to
design of components and machine and application of these principles for designing. The aim of the
subject is to develop knowledge and skills about various aspects related to design of machine
components.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After undergoing this course, the students will be able to:
• explain working of different types of mechanisms and draw their inversion.
• solve problems on power transmission.
• determine ratio of driving tension for flat and V-belt drive.
• identify various types of gears and their applications.
• construct turning moment diagram of flywheel for different types of engine.
• construct Cam Profile.
• calculate balancing of rotating mass and its position.
• identify different type of vibrations, their causes, harmful effect and remedies.

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY
1. Use teaching aids for classroom teaching
2. Give assignments for solving numerical problems
3. Arrange industry visits to augment explaining use of various machine components like
belt, rope, chain, gear drives, action due to unbalanced masses, brake clutch, governors,
fly wheels, cams and gear drives
4. Video films may be used to explain the working of mechanisms and machine components
like clutch, governors, brake etc.
