Course detail

Selected chapters from machine design - machine elements

FSI-0KSAcad. year: 2025/2026

The course extends and deepens skills especially in solving computational problems in the field of basic machine components and joints, such as springs, bearings, axles and shafts and bolted and welded connections. The course is a complement to the lecture, practice and home preparation of the course Machine design - machine components (5KS).

Entry knowledge

Knowledge:

  • materials science (choice of materials),
  • statics (load analysis),
  • elasticity and strength (stress and strain analysis).

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The course is classified with course-unit credit. The condition for obtaining it is more than 60% attendance at lectures. In the case of a collision with the class schedule or in other justified cases, the lectures can be taken as online streams.

Lectures: attendance at lectures is mandatory and controlled by the lecturer. In case of long-term absence, the replacement of missed classes is the responsibility of the course supervisor.

Aims

 Graduates will be able to analyse and design basic machine elements such as shafts, mechanical and welded joints, energy accumulators and bearings.

  • Understanding the mechanisms and causes of failure of machine parts.
  • Knowledge of the principle, calculation and use of basic machine parts.
  • Ability to apply the acquired knowledge in the design of new machines and equipment.
