Analysis of mechanisms
Analysis of mechanisms involves studying how different parts work together to perform a specific function. It examines the arrangement, movement, and interaction of components—like gears, levers, and linkages—to understand how force and motion are transferred and transformed. This helps identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement in a device or system, ensuring it operates efficiently, reliably, and safely. Essentially, it’s about understanding the internal "inner workings" of a machine to enhance its design and functionality.
