| TAUGHT: | Fall, Winter, Summer | ||
| CONTENT AND TOPICS: | 1. Engineering design 2. Review topics from solid mechanics 3. Review topics from materials science 4. Static failure theories 5. Fatigue failure theories 6. Surface failure 7. Shafts, keys, and couplings 8. Spur gears 9. Springs 10. Screws, fasteners, and welds |
||
| GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: | The student will: 1. Demonstrate a clear understanding of the use of engineering mechanics to solve statically determinate structural problems for stresses and deflections. 2. Show the capability of solving statically indeterminate structural problems for stresses and deflections. 3. Deomonstrate a working knowledge of failure methods and safety factors under static loading. 4. Demonstrate the ability to calculate life and safety factors under cyclic loading. 5. Demonstrate a working knowledge of commonly used machine parts, such as fasteners, springs, bearings, and gears. 6. Demonstrate the ability to calculate life, strength, and other factors involved in the design or selection of common machine parts. 7. Demonstrate the ability to use skills learned in class to solve a design project specified by the instructor. |
