Abstract:

This course provides students with practical experience in testing and calculating of mechanical properties of materials.

Using various measurement equipment, the students apply topics learned in Material Science courses 1&2, and Strength of materials

1 about responses of materials to different types of mechanical loading and heat-treatments.

The students acquire knowledge of operating standard engineering

Abstract:

Abstract:

The course provides a powerful tool for mechanical engineering understanding and use. It covers the basic topics of mechanical design, an analysis of fatigue and related parameters, ways to avoid failure due to fatigue, and establishes methods for safe and optimal design. Many cases of loads and stressing are discussed in details and drills are performed.

Major topics discussed in the first part of the course include welding design, riveting, bolts designed for tension or compression, lifting and handling screws, elastic analysis of bolts for joints, and others. Means of moment transmitting are discussed, such as couplings and clutches, disc brakes and others.

Shafts and their bearings will be designed for strength and durability

Abstract:

The student will acquire the basic design tools, be familiar with professional terminology, and be able to determine specifications for the standard design of accepted machine parts.

The course covers advanced topics, including problems of power transmission by various means, calculation and selection of clutches and brakes, spring design, and choice of tolerances.

The course includes detailed calculations of flat and V-belt transmissions, as well as their selection from categories of drives. It also covers strength calculations of gears according to bending and crushing criteria, and calculations of various parameters for clutches and brakes.

Abstract:

The course will present mathematical models for analyzing and solving problems in elasticity, while integrating theoretical tools and calculation methods.

Main course topics:

1. Basic definitions in solid mechanics – stresses and strains, displacements and stresses.

2. Fundamental equations and laws – equilibrium equations, kinematic equations (displacement–stress relations), constitutive equations, and compatibility equations (Saint-Venant equations).

3. Algorithms and formulations for solving elastic problems – formulation using stresses: Beltrami–Michell equations, formulation using displacements: Navier–Lam? equations.
