COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is designed to give the mechanical concept of load
and stress analysis. The concepts are further utilized to be implemented on designing of
common mechanical components such as screws, fasteners, gears, bearings, springs, welds and
shafts. Students are given the concept of optimized design for both static loading and fatigue.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: This course is meant to synergize forces, moments, torques, stress
and strength information to develop ability to analyze, design and/or select machine elements -
with attention to safety, reliability, and societal and fiscal aspects. Finally, the course prepares
the students to design static and dynamic machine elements such as shafts, springs, screws,
bearings and gears. The course includes numerous practical exercises and case studies.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will demonstrate competency by being
able to:
