COURSE GOALS: Getting familiar with the most commonly used machine elements and their functions. To analyse influence of static and dynamic strength on design and dimensioning under acceptable safety criteria. Introduction to mechanisms of machine elements fatigue. Basics of design with respect to manufacturing processes. Introduction to the basic non mechanical machine elements. Basics of internal combustion engines.

LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME:

LEARNING OUTCOMES SPECIFIC FOR THE COURSE:
Upon passing the course on Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering the student will be able to:
1. define mechanical characteristics of material and testing methods,
2. identify and distinguish joining elements, rotating elements and power transmission elements,
3. calculate stress values for fixed and separable joints,
4. investigate values of the most important physical quantities for torque transmission machine elements: orbital and angular velocities, rotating frequency and torque,
5. calculate machine parts for power transmission by friction and by form,
6. make a drawing of a machine element and define its element's function,
7. apply basic technical criteria on design and dimensioning of machine parts (safety factor, recycling ability, etc.).
