Machine – mechanical system that provides the useful application of power to achieve movement. A machine consists of a power source, or engine, and a mechanism or transmission for the controlled use of this power. The combination of force and movement, known as power, is an important characteristic of a machine.

Essence of machines

  • Applied mechanics
  • Machining, Machinist
  • Mechanical engineering

    The mathematical tools for the analysis of movement in machines:

  • Burmester theory
  • Clifford algebra
  • Dual quaternion
  • Euler's rotation theorem
  • Gear ratio
  • Ideal machine
  • Instantaneous center of rotation
