Wilkins, Ph.D., Professor of Mechanical EngineeringGoals:The primary objective of this course is to understand how engineering design uses the many principles learned in previous engineering science courses and to begin to learn how these principles are practically applied. The emphasis in this course is on machine design: the design and creation of devices that consist of interrelated components used to modify force and/or motion. Along with traditional "one-answer" homework problems, the students will be presented with design challenges.The type of design addressed in this course is that of detailed design, which is only one part of the entire design process. In detailed design, the general concept, application and basic outline of the required device have already been designed. In this course, one is not trying to invent a new device but rather to define the shape, size and material of a particular machine element such that it will not fail under the expected load and operating conditions. The focus in this course is primarily on the stress-life approach. By the end of the course, each student should be able to:- Quantify the statistical meaning of tolerances; - For a particular sub-set of machine elements and a given problem: - Define failure, - Decide on an appropriate failure model, and - Design an appropriate machine element using: - Allowable load (under the given operating conditions), - Required element life, and - Manufacturing considerations; - Apply those same concepts to more open-ended problems. Prerequisites by topic:3,4. MEEG 215 Strength of MaterialsTopics:1. Introduction of engineering economics and review of design process2. Statistical nature of properties3. Static failure review4. Fatigue failure review5. Shafts6. Lubrication and bearings (rolling element)7. Spur gears8. Springs9. Fastening10. Design process (project)Computer usage:Analysis tools required for ProjectOral – Written Communication:Written project memos & reports are required.Design:Project: The class will be divided into teams of three or four and will also be given a set of project problems. Teams must identify their top three projects and projects will be paired with the teams. There will be three milestone events associated with the project. 1st report = define the design problem chosen and list the customers (end users) and their wants; describe the system requirements and indicate the machine elements comprising the system; from the problem definition, derive required load and life for the machine elements in the system; discuss the number of systems to be manufactured as well as any manufacturing and/or assembly issues to be considered in the design. 2nd report = present a set of engineering specifications for the required solution derived from the customer wants; present at least three solutions and use your engineering specifications to choose the best system; synthesize and design the critical element(s) of your best solution; report will include the following analysis: life (number of cycles)with load for each critical element, strength analysis leading to sizing and/or selection of critical components, engineering drawings, photo-copied web or catalog pages identifying chosen components. Specific consideration should be given to manufacturing and/or assembly requirements, especially in the development of the engineering specifications and the design of the critical elements. 3rd report = synthesize, design and integrate remaining machineelements and present the system solution as a whole; provide the reasoning and analysis justifying the design of eachmachine element (e.g., for a shaft: present the ultimate & yield strengths and corrected endurance limit plus the critical location and then that location’s max & min of moment, torque and axial loads plus resulting diameter; for a bearing: present axial, radial load, required life, maximum speed and then the chosen bearing and its bore and dynamic load rating; for bushings: give the expected rise in temp; etc.). To receive full credit for this project, the final report must contain some actual concept verification or preliminary prototyping. This can involve tests used to make design decisions through working models of major components or sub-systems. Prepared by: Dick Wilkins Date: 3 February
