Fundamentals of Engineering Design I - course description

Aim of the course

Transfer of basic knowledge of the field of engineering design. To familiarize students with the identification of components and machine parts, general knowledge of the construction and principles of operation of components and subassemblies of machines such as: connections, couplings, gears, flexible components, bearings, etc. Another goal of the subject is to learn the basic principles of calculation and design of basic machine elements.  

Prerequisites

Technical drawing, Mechanics, Strength of materials, 2D engineering graphics, Science of materials

Scope

Lecture

Basic terms and definitions. Models of the design and construction process. Principles of construction. Technological construction. Normalization, typization and unification of parts and assemblies. Rational selection of materials. Rational shaping of parts. Contemporary models of the design and construction process. The course of the design and construction process. Concurrent engineering. The main differences between the concurrent and the "traditional" model of the design process. Costs, quality and time in concurrent design. Directories of relative costs. Welded, riveted, interference, grooved, splined, pin, bolt, wedge and screw joints - principles of construction, calculations: rules for the selection of all types of connections, the advantages and disadvantages of individual models. Supporting structures. Flexible elements. Tasks of susceptible elements, construction, principle of operation. Bearings and bearings: types of bearings, selection, shaft bearings, axes and shafts, principles of calculation and construction. Fixing elements, seals. Screw mechanisms: types of screw mechanisms, principle of operation, construction. Clutches and brakes: tasks of clutches and brakes, types, construction, principle of operation. Gears. Belt, chain and friction gears. Types of gears: construction and operation principle, disadventages and advantages, design features. Principles of practical use of theoretical knowledge during the implementation of a specific weldment design.

Project

In the project classes, students (in groups of 2 people) carry out the design of a welded construction, which is a welded pressure vessel. Issues in class include:

• Determining the main dimensions of the tank (tank diameter, length or height of the cylindrical part); preliminary selection of construction details - sketching
• Calculations of the cylindrical part and bottom of the tank, selection of materials for the cylindrical part and ends
• Designing of tank supports, selection of dimensions and materials for individual tank elements
• Calculation of hole reinforcements in the tank's shell and bottoms
• Preparation of the construction documentation of the tank
• Preparation of technical and operational documentation (DTR) of the tank

Teaching methods

Lecture: conventional lecture, demonstration.

Project: group work, discussion, brainstorming, ideas exchange, computer work.

Assignment conditions

Lecture: Exam

The condition for obtaining a positive grade is to get at least 60% of the possible points.

Project: Credit with grade.

The condition for passing is the implementation of the project, using appropriate methods and techniques. During the course of the project, the student has to identify simple engineering tasks, solve them for the necessary information from the literature.

Final rating:

The final grade is the sum of two component evaluations with the following weighting factors:

exam grade - 0.6, project grade - 0.4.
