Course detail

Machine Design and Machine Elements

FSI-CKPAcad. year: 2024/2025

Design of machine parts, drives, and mechanisms with the aim to ensure a reliable function and good operating parameters. Calculations for functionality verification in terms of limit states.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

5

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Entry knowledge

It is assumed the students knowledge of design fundamentals, material science and solid mechanics from their previous study at FME BUT.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The classification is based on two written tests at predetermined dates, usually in the middle and end of the semester. The control test consists of theoretical questions and calculation examples. The condition for obtaining the credit is to obtain at least 50% of points from both tests. The resulting score corresponds to the ECTS classification. The student is allowed to write a correction test in the date specified by the teacher, usually in the exam period.
Participation in lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is compulsory - two absences are allowed. The lectures are based on the textbook Mechanical Engineering Design. This book is an essential source of information for the final test. The scaled preview of the lecture presentations will be available in on-line Moodle system.

Aims

Graduates will be able to analyse and address basic problems related to the design and control of machine parts, drives and mechanisms.
Design of machine parts and mechanisms, computational verification of designed machine parts, drives and mechanisms and evaluation of their reliability for the desired technical life.
