Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
- Elasticity and strength of materials - Mechanics of Structures
Objectives
- Acquire an overview of the working methods used in mechanical design. - Form criteria on the selection of materials, application of failure theories, choice of the safety factor and, in general, of the factors that influence the design and dimensioning of the elements and enable decision making. - To know the concept of tribological phenomenon and its industrial solutions.
Skills and learning outcomes
Description of contents: programme
1. Design for static strength. Failure theories. 2. Design by fatigue. 2.1 Fatigue's theory (Goodman, Soderberg, Gerber). 2.2 Shaft theory. 3. Gears. 3.1 Gear transmission calculation. 3.2 Gear fatigue. 4. Tribology and Lubrication. 5. Roller bearings. 6. Belts transmission calculation. 7. Springs. 8.
