Main themes - Functional analysis of machines and their components - Properties of component use - Elements of calculus of machine components.
Aims Introduce students to basic conceptional notions of machines: functional analysis of machines and their components, properties of use of components, selection of materials, basic dimensioning.
Content First part : functional analysis of machines and their components - Functional requirements (Specification conditions) - Principal functions of components (actuation, bearing systems , transmission, …) - Origin of loads Second part : properties of component use - Geometric characteristics - Tolerances and adjustments, shape tolerances, surface conditions, roughness and scale effects - Residual stresses Third part : elements of calculus of machine components - Dimensioning in relation to elastic limits: calculus criteria, stress concentration, effects of residual stress, safety factors - Fatigue: dimensioning, calculus methods, residual stress effects - Current elements calculus
Other information Prerequisite : Basics of material resistance and technical drawing Teaching method : Parts 1 and 3 are taught via PBL (Problem-Based Learning), followed by synthesizing lectures. Part 2 is taught via lecture courses followed by labs and PBL. References : - For Part 1 : N.Cross, Engineering Design Methods, J. Wilyord Sons, 1991. - For Parts 2 and 3 : B; de Meester. Machine design : course notes - For Part 3 : RC. Juvinall and KM Marshek, Fundamentals of Machine Component Design, Wiley and Sons. Books can be borrowed from the Science Library. Grading criteria : The evaluation is based on work throughout the year (labs and PBL) and on an oral exam session. It includes: - solving a problem (open book) - answering a theoretical question
