Machine Elements
This course offers an introduction into mechanical engineering design, in which basic mechanical engineering functions and concepts are discussed systematically. Engineering concepts and design principles are provided to select and design machine elements that are commonly found in mechanical systems and constructions. The relation between function, material, connection method, shape, size and cost of machine elements is discussed in relation to systems specifications. Practical design principles for combining stresses and different types of loading are analyzed. The design of a complete mechanical power transmission system is covered including belt and chain drives, gears, shafts, keys, couplings, seals and bearings. The design of standardized machine elements for connections are discussed including fasteners, springs, machine frames, bolted connections and welded joints.
This course can only be taken by ME students.
