Mechanical Design Project - Machine Elements (FSI-YS1)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Martin Vrbka, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚK all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to provide an basic overview of machine parts and joints like mechanical springs, bearings, axles and shafts and bolted, riveted, and welded joints. Attention is paid especially to get understanding of their function and learn the methods used in their design process.
Learning outcomes and competences:
- Knowledge of the principles of operation, design and application of the basic machine elements and joints.
- Getting understanding of the machine elements failures principles and causes.
- Ability to apply gained knowledge to the design process of new machinery and equipment in creative way.
Prerequisites:
Students are assumed to have the knowledge of machine design, material science and mechanics of solids, which they have obtained in previous part of their study at FME.
Course contents:
The course will provide a basic overview of machine parts and joints like mechanical springs, bearings, axles and shafts and bolted, riveted, and welded 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, mechanics and machine design.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by creative work in seminars.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Terms of the graded course-unit credit: regular participation at seminars, solving of projects and passing the written test of topics presented at lectures and seminars.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Recommended attendance at lectures, compulsory attendance at seminars (2 absences maximum per semester). Education runs according to the week schedule. The way of compensation of missed seminars is specified by the tutor.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 1 hrs. optionally                  
    Computer-assisted exercise  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory                  
Course curriculum:
