MET 421 - Machine Design: Theory & Project

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Description:

Analysis and design of a wide variety of machine components. Machine frames are analyzed from compound stress, fatigue stress and deflection viewpoints. Among machine elements that are covered are keys, shrink fits, shafts, power screws, brakes (disc and drum), gears, couplings, belt drives and cable systems. A design project is included. Course Objectives (1) Design machine frames using the strengths of material principles relating to normal stress, shear stress, torsion bending and compound stress (2) Design power transmission shafts (3) Determine critical speed of a shaft (4) Calculate required shrink fit interferences and determine radical arc tangential stress levels. (5) Design belt drive systems (6) Design clutches and disc brakes (7) Design drum breaks (8) Design keys and keyways (9) Design power screws (10) Use Pro/Engineer (ProE) in designing machine components
