[email protected] Lectures: 3 hours/week Problem Analysis: 3 hours/week Course Objective The objectives of this course are to further study the design of discrete mechanical components begun in MECH 3002 and to prepare the student for designing complete mechanical systems. A mechanical system is composed of individual elements that must work together in a synergistic manner to reliably and economically perform specified functions. This requires that engineers use their technical knowledge, learning ability, and conceptual skills to assess the requirements, select or invent components, and combine and size them so they satisfy the requirements. The finished design must then be communicated to management, shops, and the customer in a way that is both accurate and convincing. Lecture Outline The lecture topics to be presented are shown below. From time to time, as warranted, lecture periods may be devoted to additional topics on design or to the design project. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Course introduction, case study, design project The design process -establishing design criteria, conceptual design, detail design, design evaluation Project planning and management Fluid power systems -hydraulic/pneumatic components and systems Review and design of gear systems -helical, bevel, worm gears Flexible mechanical elements -belts, chains, ropes Welding Other topics in design – -ergonomics/human factors, optimization Review
Marking Scheme Quizzes (4) “How Does it Work?” Project Design Project Final Exam
20% 5% 25% 50%
All quizzes, “how does it work?” project, and design project deliverables must be submitted. Failure to submit any deliverable will result in a grade of “FND”. The problem sets will not be graded, but should be done in preparation for the quizzes. Selected References R.C. Juvinall and K.M. Marshek, Fundamentals of Machine Component Design J.E.
