Machine Design - Machine Elements (FSI-5KS-K)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Martin Hartl, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Students will be able to analyse and design basic machine components such as mechanical joints, energy accumulators, bearings and seals.
Learning outcomes and competences:
- Understanding the mechanisms and causes of failure of machine parts.
- Knowledge of the principle, calculation and use of basic machine parts.
- Ability to apply the acquired knowledge in the design of new machines and equipment.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge:
- materials science (choice of materials),
- statics (load analysis),
- elasticity and strength (stress and strain analysis).

Passing the course: 4PP Strength of Materials I.

Links to other subjects:
compulsory prerequisite: Strength of Materials I [4PP-K]
Course contents:
The aim of the course is to provide an overview of machine parts and joints like mechanical springs, bearings, axles and shafts and bolted, riveted, welded and bonded joints. Attention is paid especially to get understanding of their function and learn the methods used in their design process. The course integrates the knowledge acquired in theoretical courses of Mechanical Engineering Bachelor's degree programme, particularly in branches of materials science and mechanics.
Teaching methods and criteria:
Lectures, exercises, self-study.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The course is completed by taking an exam after the previous awarding of the credit.
The credit confirms that the student actively participated in the work during the semester and received at least 15 points out of a maximum of 30 points. The criterion of point evaluation is the degree of ability to solve assigned tasks correctly and independently.
The exam investigates the complex mastery of the subject matter defined in the course card and especially the ability to apply the acquired knowledge independently and creatively. The level of mastery of the issue is evaluated in the range of 0 to 70 points. The student must obtain at least 35 points out of maximum of 70 points.
The exam has a written and an oral part. The written part of the exam is mandatory for all students. It consists of three calculation tasks and one question. The oral part of the exam is voluntary.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Lectures: attendance is voluntary.
Exercises: attendance is mandatory and controlled by the teacher. Maximum of two absences are allowed in total. In case of long-term absence, compensation for missed classes is in the competence of the course guarantor.
