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

Basic courses in mechanics, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and machine elements.

Intended learning outcomes

The course aims at giving the student a theoretical and practical knowledge about bearings and a number of transmission elements. As an important part of the course, it is described how selection and sizing of the different machine elements is performed in the industry. Engineering design exercises, where in most cases necessary data are taken from catalogues, aim at checking that the course contents have been digested. Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to:

  • Design hydrodynamic and hydrostatic bearings.
  • Design gears with respect to their strength.
  • Select a suitable coupling or clutch for a given transmission, and size it.
  • Design belt drives and chain drives.

Course content

Plain bearings (types of friction, hydrodynamic bearings, hydrostatic bearings, Reynolds equation, p-v-diagrams),
Gears (helical gears, calculation of strength according to DIN 3990, worm gears),
Couplings and clutches (design with respect to load fluctuations), Chain drives,
Flat and V-belt drives,
Timing belt drives

Teaching and working methods

Teaching is in the form of lectures and classes.
