Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply the concepts and methods learned in Statics, Strength
of Materials and Engineering Materials to the analysis and
design of mechanical components
2.
Perform fatigue and yielding failure predictions for structural
mechanical elements that can be used for design
3.
Evaluate basic design decisions regarding the suitability of
different components in a mechanical system
4.
Apply modern computer-based techniques in the selection,
analysis, and synthesis of components and their integration
into complete mechanical systems
Synopsis
Designs of Mechanical Elements have been prepared specifically
to introduce the mechanical elements which are often used in
mechanical machines. This course also introduces the concept of
design in the engineering environment and provides hands-on
experience of the design process for the mechanical engineering
students. The topic covers the review of failure mechanisms in
the context of machine design and considers the analysis and
safe design of various common elements of engineering systems
such as pressure vessels, shafts, gears, bearings, etc. Throughout
the course, the application and integration of these components
in assemblies are demonstrated through examples, case studies
and a project involving the detail design of a number of
mechanical assemblies and machines
