Course Information
Catalog Course Description
This course deals with design and selection of mechanical elements such as welded joints, bolts, bearings, spur gears, shafts, brakes; alternative fatigue design methods with consideration of creep, yielding, fracture; basics of finite element analysis with emphasis on beam and plate models.
Course Learning Outcomes:
| 1. | Formulate and analyze stresses and strains in machine elements and structures in 3-D subjected to various loads. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Be able to do tolerance analysis and specify appropriate tolerances for machine design application |
| 3. | Understand and apply multi-dimensional static/fatigue failure criteria in the analysis and design of mechanical components. |
| 4. | Be able to analyze and design structural joints |
| 5. | Be able to analyze and design power transmission shafts carrying various elements with geometrical features |
Course Objective
This course is designed for undergraduate students to (i) develop an understanding of standards, safety, reliability, importance of dimensional parameters and manufacturing aspects in mechanical design, (ii) develop an understanding of different design criteria, and (iii) gain the ability to design different mechanical elements such as shafts, joints, springs, etc.
