In addition to the theory sections and the tutorial sheets provided after each chapter, software called DAMA, ‘Dynamic Analysis for Mechanical Application’, in which simulations of mechanisms and vibrating systems are implemented, is provided via a website. The DAMA software is packaged with everything it needs to work immediately. The simulations it contains are used to enhance students understanding of the motion and vibration of mechanical systems. The simulations include motion of a single cylinder engine, four-bar linkage mechanisms, gears and sliding/rotating rigid bars along with many others.
The simulations are fully interactive so that any change in the input parameters is immediately reflected in the animation, output plots and output parameters.
