Transmission: Functions
This lecture covers the concept of movement transformation in mechanisms, including translational and rotational movements. It explores various mechanisms such as the Watt and Robert mechanisms, as well as rectilinear development mechanisms. The lecture also delves into angle transmission, change of axis of movement, and different types of transmissions like left cylindrical with helical teeth and conical friction transmission. Additionally, it discusses continuous and intermittent movements, couplings (axially and angularly), and provides examples of couplings like the Universal joint.
