Course Overview

This course stresses on one aspect of design which is the design for strength. Other aspects of design are touched on the surface. The design for strength means determining the appropriate size and material of structures or components to be designed so that they are free from mechanical failures such as yielding, fracturing and buckling. Students will be exposed with static and dynamic failure theories. As a start, students are to design simple structures that they have encountered before: rod, beam, shaft and thin and thick cylinders. Following that, students will learn how to design mechanical components that include bolts, welding, bearings, gears and belts. The applications of these components in machinery will also be exposed. Throughout the semester, students will be tested with open-ended design problems that may come in forms of tutorial, test and projects
