Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will have the ability to correctly analyse and design mechanical structures and machines, assessing their capability to correctly operate and to withstand the main mechanical failure mechanisms. The student will, in particular, acquire the capability to analyse the machine behaviour in the stastic and in the dynamic (vibration) regimes and to apply modern reliability analysis criteria.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The examination aim to ascertain the understanding and knowledge of course content and the capability to apply theory to practical cases.

Methods:

  • Final oral exam
  • Written report

Further information:
The students are required to conduct, operating in small (2-3 persons) groups, a complete design work of a rather simple machine or structure. The work will be documented by a written reports and technical drawings. In addition, the students have to sustain an oral exam, on course content.
Teaching methods

Delivery: face to face

Learning activities:

  • attending lectures
  • preparation of oral/written report
  • individual study
  • group work
  • Laboratory work

Attendance: Advised

Teaching methods:

  • Lectures
  • laboratory
  • project work
Syllabus
Conceptual design criteria for a few most important mechanical application fields (e.g. frames, transmissions, driving components, bearings, etc.). Reliability of mechanical structures and components: probability and statistics fundamentals, reliability analysis of large series components and of individual components, reliability analysis of systems, design of experiment, robust design. Dynamics (vibration) of mechanical structures: free vibration and modal analysis, forced vibrations, damping, transient analysis.
