Course detail
Mechanical Design Project - Machine Elements
FSI-YS1 Acad. year: 2019/2020 Winter semester
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. The course integrates the knowledge acquired in theoretical courses of Mechanical Engineering Bachelor's degree programme, particularly in branches of materials science and mechanics.
