MECA0013-1

Machine design


Duration :30h Th, 30h Pr
Credits/ECTS :
3rd year of the 5 year degree in civil engineering in electromechanics5
Holder(s) :N...
Substitute(s) :Jean‑François Debongnie
Course contents : Design process - Iterative nature, design office versus method office, machine subsets and elements. Exigencies upon functionality, reliability and cost.

Functionality - Dimensions, standards, interchangeability, dimensional chains; dimensional tolerances, geometrical tolerances. Link with the mechanism hyperstaticity. Roughness. Stifness exigencies. Friction : adhesion, bolts, hooping, belts, brakes ; sticking, stick-slip, wear ; how to reduce frictional effects. Design for asssembly and disassembly. Reciprocal dependance of shapes and manufacturing processes.

Reliability - Forces evaluation, first design of a shaft, general reliability concepts, mechanical tests of materials, stress limit assesment, the concept of safety. Volumic strength with static and dynamic loads. Hertzian contacts. Rolling bearing calculation.
Course objective : The purpose of this course is primarily to present the bases of a sane mechanical design. Therefore, it is more oriented on fundamental concepts than on the computation of particular elements.
Prerequisites : Rational mechanics

Strength of materials
Workshops : Exercises (2 hours a week)
Organization : 2 hours (course) plus 2 hours (exercises) for each week, during the first semester.
Written notes : The whole text of the course is edited by the AEES (three books : text, figures and complementary documents)
Assessment : Oral examination. The student may consult any book.
Contacts : Prof. J.F. Debongnie
