LEARNING OUTCOMES
The course is a crucial course in machine and product design. The subject matter of the course aims to give to the students of the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering the knowledge of calculating and designing machine elements as well as their composition. The acquired knowledge is related to the following topics: Methodology of Design of Machine Elements, and Materials. The use of the Computer in machine design. Optimization of machine elements and engine design and their reliability. Theories of failures and dynamic endurance design. Fatigue and cumulative damage rules. Miner’s rule. Stress analysis. Pressure vessels. Metal structures. Computer stresses analysis. Machine Connections: Welds, fittings, screws. Connections with tight fittings.
Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:
- Has understand concepts related to theory in the design and application of Machine Elements in typical problems of Mechanical Engineer.
- To has methodological and quantitative understanding through the solution of related exercises, issues related to the design of machine components in applications of Mechanical Engineering.
- In the Machine Design Laboratory, to has performed experimental tests related to the stresses of various machine elements (rotor balancing, finite element study and truss construction experiments, rotors fatigue) taught in theory and tutorial exercises.
- Through the semester project and the collaboration with the team members, they have to undergo a synthetic study (product design and design of machine elements), related to the design, static and dynamic of machine elements either in independent operation or in assembly mode (product ). The student and the team are therefore also practicing with basic data regarding the cost of each machine element and the product as a whole.
