Mechanical Design (MSK210)
The course focuses on the fundamentals of mechanical design including material selection, dimensioning (strength calculation) principles with respect to diverse failure modes such as yielding, buckling and fatigue. Upon understanding the fundamentals, the application of the dimensioning techniques and valid standards are demonstrated for common machine elements such as axles, bearings, springs, brakes as well as welded and bolted joints. Introduction to the study of mechanisms and transmission systems is also briefly given.
