Dan Marghitu's home pageObjectives:
The course is intended to introduce students to a variety of mechanical
components and their implementation in system design. Students
will learn fundamental concepts, descriptions, terminology, force
analysis, methods of analysis and design. The emphasis in
treating the machine components is on methods and procedures that give
the student competence in applying these methods and procedures to
mechanical components in general.
The students will learn to use the best available scientific
understanding
together with empirical information, good judgment, and often a degree
of
ingenuity, in order to produce the best product for today’s
society.
The technical considerations are largely centered around
stress-strain-strength
relations and surface phenomena. The students will be able to
dissect
a complex mechanical system and apply engineering skills to perform
analysis
and design. Students will use computer software like Solid Edge
for
graphical convenience of some design problems, and MATHEMATICA/MATLAB
to
solve computationally intensive problems.
