Theory of Machines: Design of Elements

1 Unit · Undergraduate

Factors influencing the proportioning of machine elements-stresses, deformations, and failure criteria-as applied to shafts, springs, belts, bearings, gears. Lectures, laboratory.

2026 Fall

Topics

  • The course focuses on the fundamentals and principles of basic mechanical elements, failure theories and design criteria, and structures of basic mechanical systems. The goal of the course is to learn how to design simple mechanical elements and systems. It includes: Understanding the principle of each element. Analyzing elements mechanically by applying the theories from statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and fluid mechanics with deterministic or statistic approaches. Learning how to design basic elements and simple systems. Designing elements and systems by means of CAD.
