Machine Element Design

Current offering — AY2025/2026 Semester 2

This course aims to introduce how many of the most common machine elements such as belts, chains, gears and bearings operate; and how the information learned in previous mechanics of materials and theory of mechanism courses can be applied to solve the design problems encountered when using these elements. You will learn the important features of these elements and the methods of analysing and designing them. You will also learn how machine elements are selected and integrated into common and commercially available mechanical devices and systems, so that these devices and system can satisfy their function and desired application. The use of industrial manuals will be part of the learning experience of this course.
