MECA0013-1  Machine design
Duration :  30h Th, 30h Pr
Credits/ECTS :  
civil engineering in electromechanics, 1st year5
Holder(s) :  N...
Language :  Langue française
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
