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.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The teaching methodology in this UC is composed, on one hand, by the exposition of theoretical contents, approached in the theoretical classes, with support of audiovisual resources that are made available to students through Moodle. On the other hand, in practical theoretical classes, exercises related to theoretical matters are carried out, applied to concrete examples of machine elements dimensioning. The exercises are also available to students through Moodle. In parallel to these activities, students are invited to design a mechanism/device where they should apply the dimensioning calculations addressed in the theoretical and theoretical-practical classes, starting by identifying the requirements based on which Identify the various components and calculate their dimensions.
Thus, students will be evaluated through partial tests and a practical design project where they will develop a mechanism using the theory taught in the classroom.
