Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Mathematics, mechanics and solid mechanics

Intended learning outcomes

This course gives a general description of design, function and use of machine elements. After the course the student shuold be able to:

describe the function of the most common machine elements.
analyze the function of different machine elements use in mechanical designs.
design and dimension machine elements in mechanical systems.
compare and evaluate the suitability of fastning and transmission elements in mechanical systems.
discuss the plausibility of the results.

Course content

Fastening elements ( bolts, rivets, springs, shaft connections) and
Transmission elements ( gears, couplings, brakes, belt drives).

Teaching and working methods

The basic content is given in lectures, and in supervised exercises. In a laboratory exercise the practical build-up of some elements is demonstrated.
