Learning Outcomes
Students will understand the structure and functions of the most common standardised components used in mechanical engineering. They will be competent in applying the mechanics of materials in dimensioning and designing machine components. Students will also be competent in making an FEM analysis of a structure they design
Student's Workload
Work load consists of sceduled studies up to 56 hours and self-studies of 50 hours.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
Statics, Mechanics of materials.
Contents
Revision of mechanics of materials,
dimensioning of power transmissionshafts, checking fatigue endurance, gears,roller bearings, couplings,power transmission with belts and chains, dimensioning of a welded joint
