Analytical Methods in Machine Design. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: undergraduate differential equations, machine design, and ME 616 . (May be taken concurrently.) Theory and analytical methods used in machine design. Comparisons are made between approximate and exact engineering methods for evaluation of the range of applicability of solutions. Topics include advanced analysis of threaded members; keyed, splined, and shrink fits when subjected to torque; preloaded bearings; surging, presetting and buckling of coiled springs; and accurate analysis of impact stresses and stresses beyond the yield point.
