| Course code : | ME-MED-U1 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 5 | Status : | Compulsory |
| Revised : | 28/01 2010 | Written : | 13/07 2009 |
| Placement : | 3. semester | Hours per week : | 4 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | English |
| Objective : | The overall course objective is to provide the students with the basics of machine design, including the design process, mechanics and materials, failure prevention under static and variable loading, as well as the characteristics of the principal types of mechanical elements. In addition, the course will give the students a firm foundation to enable them design appropriate machine components for a machine or a structure, based on requirements to the components. A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: • Use mechanics and properties of materials in the design of machine elements. • Apply theories of failure to predict failure of machine components subjected to static and variable loading. • Describe capabilities and characteristics for a number of important machine elements. • Elaborate on the working conditions and other operating conditions for components in a mechanical product. • Identify components which are critically loaded. • State requirements to materials and surfaces for components in machines and structure. • Use the standards, which describe the frame for designing machine elements, including DS, EN and ISO standards. • Specify tolerance requirements to machine elements and mechanical systems. • Read engineering literature on machine design. |

| Recommended prerequisites : | - | ||
| Relations : | Projects 3-4, Applied Mechanics 2. | ||
| Type of examination : | Look under remarks | ||
| External examiner : | Internal | ||
| Marking : | 7 step scale | ||
| Remarks : | Oral examination based on a number of design projects. The final evaluation of each student will be based on an assessment of the presentation of design projects and the group report. This course is closely related to the semester project in the 3rd semester, and is an integrated part of the study program “Engineering Design & Industrial Innovation” offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It is primarily for students enrolled in the program. |
