Design of Machine Components

Catalog description

To provide common analytical approaches to design a wide variety of machine components. It emphasizes the engineering mechanics topics of failure theory and analysis. It provides reinforcement of finite element method and computer-aided engineering as techniques and tools to aid machinery design. Topics include: Cam design and analysis; static and fatigue failure theories; surface failure; shafts, keys, and couplings; bearings and lubrication; spur, helical, bevel and worm gears; spring design; screws and fasteners; clutches and brakes.
