Learning outcomes In this UC it is intended that the student structure the knowledge about the mechanical behaviour of materials, acquire the capacity of analysis and attitude of synthesis of that knowledge directed to design/dimensioning and learn concepts, characteristics and purposes of mechanical elements.
Analyse the mechanical behaviour of materials regarding stress and deformation, elastic and plastic behaviour, constitutive laws and resistance.
Establish concepts, purposes and characteristics of the components of mechanical systems in order to encompass aspects related to the operation, selection, design/dimensioning (static and fatigue), safety and reliability of mechanical equipment.
Design machine elements, supported by a methodology and procedures generally applied in the analysis of machine elements, mechanisms, machinery and structures.
Syllabus 1- Introduction: Considerations and methodologies concerning mechanical design; Materials selection and properties; Stress and deformation analysis; Factor of Safety and Design Factor. 2- Fatigue of mechanical components: Characterization of the process of fatigue failure, Curves of fatigue strength; Methods of project design against fatigue failure. 3– Shaft design: Fatigue dimensioning; Deformation; critical rotation speed. 4– Gears for power transmission: Involute properties; Types of gears; Loadings on tooth; Thickness dimensioning; Teeth correction. 5- Flexible power transmission components: Belt transmission design; Roller chain transmission design. 6- Shaft coupling: Interference couplings; Keys, pins and splines. 7– Shaft supports: contact pressure in simple supports; Bearings selection; Types of bearings.
