MMAE 306: Analysis and Design of Machine Elements

Spring 2008

Course Description

Learn the fundamentals of engineering analysis and their applications in common machine element design. Understand stresses, deformations, and failure criteria as applied to shafts, springs, belts, bearings, gears. Include a semester design project on basic elements and simple systems.

Learning objectives

o Understanding the principle of each machine element

o Apply engineering analysis (free body diagrams, Mohr’s circle, beam analysis, static failure theories, fatigue analysis) to basic machine component design

o Learning how to design basic elements and simple systems.
