Mechanical Department
Theory of Machines & Engineering Mechanics Laboratory
Study of engineering mechanics, mechanisms, vibrations, balancing, governors, gears, and friction through various experimental apparatus and models.
Lab Overview
The Theory of Machines & Engineering Mechanics Laboratory is a well-equipped facility designed to provide students with practical exposure to the fundamental principles of engineering mechanics and theory of machines. The laboratory supports experimental study of force systems, pulleys, friction, pendulums, moments, levers, beams, plane laminae, and equilibrium of forces.
The laboratory also provides facilities for studying vibrations, whirling of shafts, governors, gyroscopic motion, cam mechanisms, static and dynamic balancing, belt friction, screw jacks, flywheels, and mechanism inversions. Various gear arrangements, including spur, bevel, helical, spiral, and worm gears, are available for understanding gear mechanisms and power transmission.
These facilities enable students to understand the motion, forces, equilibrium, and dynamic behaviour of mechanical systems through practical experimentation. The laboratory helps students develop analytical, technical, experimental, and problem-solving skills and strengthens their understanding of engineering mechanics and machine mechanisms.
