| Course code : | ME-MEM2-U1 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 10 | Status : | Compulsory |
| Placement : | 2. semester | Hours per week : | 8 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | English |
| Principal Content : | The course will cover the following topics: Equilibrium of rigid bodies subjected to friction. Frictional force analysis on machine elements such as wedges, screws, belts and bearings. Introduction to Finite Element Methods (FEM). Statically indeterminate structures. Introduction to the theory of elasticity. Stress and strain transformation. Deflection of beams. Design of column structures against buckling. Energy methods in structures such as trusses, frames and machines. The course also covers various issues in design for manufacturing which includes tools and techniques to prevent product failure, reduce product cost and improve manufacturing efficiency through innovative design. FEM software and “Cambridge Engineering Selector” (CES EduPack) are used throughout the course. |

| Teaching method : | The pedagogy of the course is based on a “design-led approach”. Approximately half of the time allocated to the course will be used in guided project work in groups. The course projects will give the students an opportunity to apply basic concepts learned in the class to real-life problems, and to learn new concepts that are not covered in the lectures. There will be introductory and summing up lectures as well as an introduction to material selection in mechanical design. Project work in small groups includes computer simulations, use of internet search engines and case studies. |
