Course Description
The course covers fundamentals of machine design which include: general design rules, safety factor, load analysis, materials selection, stress, and strain and deflection analysis. Failure theories for static loadings, importance of tensile test and other tests, the concepts of reliability and safety, tolerances and fits. Importance of stress concentrations, use of stress concentration data; and introduces design guidelines.Also included are: designs of shafts, couplings and connections, design of permanent and non-permanent joints, and the design of helical compression, tension and torsion springs. Failure of components under dynamic loadings, compound loadings. Design of bolted and riveted joints, type of bolt and riveted joints.
