Abstract
The subject of machine dynamics deals with all synthesis and analysis methodologies and tools required for efficient design of mechanical systems for high quality motion performance. Such a development of methodologies will yield dynamically tuned reliable machines, mechanisms and mechanical systems for accurate, repeatable and precision performance. Five research topics in machine dynamics were identified, studied and evaluated. These topics are: (1) kinematic synthesis and analysis of mechanical systems, (2) multi-body dynamics (3) computer needs, computational techniques and artificial intelligence, (4) mechanical system modeling and simulation, and (5) experimental research. Robotics was identified to be one of the several important research areas of national concern. Details of the five generic research topics and issues are discussed.
