Course Objectives and Outcomes
- Learning the design process of mechanical components, for different design considerations, such like strength, stiffness, and stability.
- Transfer real life mechanical systems to analytical models and analyze them as well as to deal with design codes and standards.
- To be able to solve open-ended design problems, cope with decision making and satisfy competing objectives.
- Use and integrate the fundamentals studied previously towards the goal of analyzing and designing mechanical components to achieve satisfactory levels of safety and life.
- Use appropriate software for design, modeling, and analysis. To incorporate knowledge learned in the mechanics, structures, materials, and manufacturing courses.
- To reinforce competence in multi-axis stress analysis and understand the importance of using and interpreting Mohr’s circle.
- To obtain a working knowledge in the use of the proper failure theories under steady and variable loadings.
- To master the design of mechanical components under steady and variable loadings.
- The course teaches the student how to design machine components by specifying their type, geometry, material, life, safety and heat treatment and how to integrate these elements to build a mechanical system.
