Revised : 18/04 2013 Written : 10/08 2011
Placement : 3. semester Hours per week : 4
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : English

Objective : The overall course objective of this course (together with M-MED 1/ME-MED 1) 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.
Principal Content : This course covers various issues in the analysis and design of the most commonly used machine components:
- Flexible mechanical elements: Belts and roller chains
- Tolerances and fits II
- Gears, clutches, brakes, couplings and flywheels II
- Starting and stopping of machinery
Teaching method : The teaching is based on class room teaching and solving problems or case studies individually or in groups.
Required prequisites : M(E)-MED1
Recommended prerequisites : none
Relations : Projects 3-4, Applied Mechanics 2.
Type of examination : Four hours written examination
External examiner : External
Marking : 7 step scale
Remarks : Oral examination based on a number of design examples. The final evaluation of each student will be based on an assessment of the presentation of design examples.
