Course detail
Mechanical Design Project - Drives and Mechanisms
FSI-YS2 Acad. year: 2019/2020 Summer semester
The aim of the course is to provide an overview of machine parts used for power and rotary motion transmission. The course is focused mainly on the gear transmissions. 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.
