prof. Ing. Martin Hartl, Ph.D.

Institute of Machine and Industrial Design

Knowledge of the principles of operation, design and application of the tooth gears and flexible transmission elements, shaft couplings, brakes and flywheels. Ability to apply gained knowledge to the design process of new machinery and equipment in creative way.

Knowledge of design basics (drawing documentation), materials science (selection of materials), statics (load analysis), kinematics (kinematic analysis of mechanisms) and strength of materials (analysis of stress and deformation) at the level of Bachelor's degree programme aimed on mechanical engineering. Knowledge of mechanical engineering design is expected according to course Machine Design – Machine Elements (5KS).

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Course credit requirements: The minimum number of points needed to obtain the course credit is 20 from 40 possible. Points can be obtained based on the following criteria:

1. Student activity in tutorials. The student is required to prepare himself for the seminars in accordance with the time schedule published on the BUT e-learning. Teachers individually discuss solution process with each student during seminars and make assessment of the student work in each seminar (ie. preparedness to discussion, accomplishment of the project key checkpoints, etc.). The assessment score shall be counted in the overall score from seminars.

2. Elaboration and submission of semestral project on schedule set by the teacher. The complete project consists of: a) calculation report, b) assembly drawing c) drawing documentation of machine parts selected by teacher. Overall quality of submitted outcomes is subject of assessment.

Final exam requirements: The written exam is based on multiple choice questions. The test is composed of 30 questions, while each is awarded by 2 points in the case of correct answer. Minimum score for passing the test is 30 out of 60 possible points. The test contains 24 theoretical and 6 computational questions, while the use of any literature is not allowed. Each question has four answers, of which only one is correct. An incorrect answer does not mean negative point. A student card, pen and calculator are demanded to access the test room. The student which does not obtain the course credit is not allowed to attend the final exam. The final score of the whole course consists of the total number of points earned from semestral project and multiple-choice test. The minimum required score is 50 points out of the maximum 100 points. The final score determines the grade according to ECTS.

The aim of the course is to provide an overview of machine parts used for power and rotary motion transmission, such as gears, shaft couplings, brakes and flywheels. 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.

Lectures:
Attendance at lectures is recommended. Provided lectures are based on Mechanical engineering design textbook which is basic material for study and preparation to final exam. The lectures refers to the specific pages in the textbook that are related to the discussed topics and are accompanied by information on the current state of knowledge. Lectures are available as the electronic previews in the Moodle system.
Seminars:
Attendance at seminars is required – a maximum of two excused absences per semester are tolerated. The tutorials take form of individual semestral project. The goal of the project is to design a single-stage gearbox or planetary gearbox with the following design arrangement:
Single-stage gearbox with spur gears.
Single-stage gearbox with straight bevel gears.
Planetary gearbox with spur gears.
Students individually solve the projects selected by the teacher. Students must work in accordance to the time schedule published in the Moodle system. Students are required to maintain the design documentation of the project, which is discussed through the seminars. Form of the documentation is given by the teacher (writing in a workbook, electronic, etc.). Finally, the students draw the technical drawings (design assembly and parts according teacher selection). It is possible to use both private notebooks and computers in the classroom (WiFi available) during tutorials. The Mathcad software is recommended and preferred for elaboration of semestral projects, alternatively other applications are allowed, like MS Office Excel, etc.
