Course Overview

The Mechanics of Machining program is an elective course curated by IIT Guwahati The training will be covered over eight weeks and 20 lectures. The course explains the physics such as kinematics, statics, and kinetics of cutting procedures involved in metal removal processes called machining.

The Mechanics of Machining certification syllabus primarily comprises the study material from the textbook “Introduction of Machining Science” by G.K. Lal and various sources like journal papers and others. This online course discusses deformable body mechanics and its principles. Candidates will also learn about how these principles can be used to increase the performance of machine processes.

After understanding the basic principles covered in the Mechanics of Machining online course, candidates will gain insight into the complexity of machining. With such information and experimental knowledge, they will not only be able to build their own rules to optimize these processes but also conduct them through sustainable manufacturing techniques.
