Course Plan Machine Design
Course Plan Machine Design
Goal (introduction)
The main goal of this course is to provide students a systematic approach for design
and analysis of machine components within the framework of realistic constraints
such as cost, size, weight, materials and safety.
Objectives
The emphasis is on the design of machine components for strength. To convey to the
students and understanding of: stress, strain and stress strain relationships, failure
theories under static loading, failure of machine members under fatigue loading,
design of shafts, design of threaded fasteners, design of welded joints and design of
mechanical springs, and other topics as time allows.
Skills Objectives
The type of design addressed in this course is that of detailed design, which is to
define the shape, size and material of a particular machine element such that it will
not fail under the expected load and operating conditions.
