Course Plan Machine Design

This course outline summarizes Machine Design I, a 3-credit undergraduate course at Iran University of Science and Technology. The course emphasizes designing machine elements based on concepts from prior courses in mechanics, materials science, and strength of materials. Key topics include stress analysis, failure theories, and the design of shafts, bolts, welds, and springs. Students will apply solid mechanics to real mechanical device design, learn to recognize failure and fatigue constraints, and bridge the gap between analysis and design. Evaluation is based on homework, a midterm, project work, and a final exam.

Course Outline

Title: Machine Design I

Lecturer Name: Fathollah Taheri-Behrooz, Ph.D.


Tell: 77240540-8 (Ext. 2980)
E-Mail: [email protected]
Department: Mechanical Engineering Dep.
Prerequisite: Strength of materials I, Material Science
Overview
Machine Design I, is a three-credit course, which emphasizes on designing machine
elements based on the fundamental relations learned through courses as static,
machine dynamics, strength of material and material science. The course is designed
to be taken in fifth semester by undergraduate students of the mechanical
engineering department at Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST).

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.

By the end of the course, each student should be able to:

Apply knowledge of solid mechanics to the design of real mechanical devices.


Recognize failure and fatigue as constraints on component design.
Understand the details of shafts, bolts, welds and springs and distinguish their
use in various applications.
Unravel the mysteries behind how linkages can be designed to produces
complex motions.
Bridge the gap between ME analysis and ME design by investigating and
tinkering with real mechanical devices.
