Aim of the course

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with of the basics of engineering design. Familiarizing students with the identification of machine elements and parts, general knowledge of the construction and principles of operation of machine elements and subassemblies such as: connections, couplings, gears, flexible elements, bearings, etc. Another objective of the course is to learn the basic principles of calculating and designing basic machine elements.

Exercises

As part of the exercises, students will learn about the basic strength conditions used in the calculation of machine and device elements, the principles of creating computational algorithms for selected structures and the computational and construction process of an example element - a machine shaft.

C1-2: Basic strength conditions used in the calculation of detachable and non-detachable connections. Principles of creating computational algorithms for selected structures.

C3: Preliminary calculations of the shaft - theoretical outline.

C4: Determination of the profile of the actual embankment (shaping of the embankment). Calculation of key or spline joints, bearings, selection of machining undercuts, etc.

C5: Verification calculations - bending and torsional stiffness of the shaft. Determination of the shaft deflection lines and deflection angles in the places of supports (bearing seats). Calculation of shaft torsion angles.

C6: Fatigue verification calculations. Safety factor at the point of notch action. Implementation drawing of the shaft.

C7: Passing the exercises.

Project

During design classes, students carry out a design of a welded structure, which is a welded pressure tank. Topics covered during the classes include:

P1: Characteristics of the project, definition of assumptions, assignment of project data, auxiliary materials for project implementation.

P2: Determination of the main dimensions of the tank (tank diameter, length or height of the cylindrical part); initial selection of construction details - sketch preparation.

P3: Calculations of the cylindrical part and tank bottoms, selection of materials for the cylindrical part and tank bottoms.

P4: 3D modeling of designed tank elements.

P5: Selection, design and modeling of neck, flat and connection stubs.

P6: Design, calculations of tank supports, modeling of tank supports

P7: Calculation of reinforcements of holes in the tank shell and bottoms.

P8: Tank assembly modeling.

P9 - P11: Preparation of tank design documentation.

P12 - P13: Development of selected elements of technical and operating documentation of the tank.

P14: Final editing of the final study.

P15: Project submission and completion.

Teaching methods

Assignment conditions

Lecture: Exam

The condition for obtaining a positive evaluation is to obtain at least 60% of the points available.

Classes: Pass with a grade.

The grade is based on a written paper that takes into account all computational exercises to be carried out.

Project: Pass with a grade.

The condition for passing is to complete a project using appropriate methods and techniques. In the course of the project, the student is to identify simple engineering tasks and solve them by obtaining the necessary information from the literature.

Final rating:

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

exam grade - 0.5, exercise grade - 0.2, project grade - 0.3.
