Mechanical Design 2 (Fall 2011) |
|||
| Course code : | ME-MED2-U1 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 5 | Status : | Compulsory |
| Placement : | 3. semester | Hours per week : | 4 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | English |
| Principal Content : | The course is a continuation of the 2nd semester course Mechanical Design 1. 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 American standards (ASME, ANSI, SAE), European standards (EN, DS) and International standards (ISO). • Specify tolerance requirements to machine elements and mechanical systems. • Read engineering literature on machine design. |
