ME 363 - Design of Machine Components

4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course applies mechanics of materials concepts to the design of machine components. Static and fatigue failure criteria are introduced and applied to shafts, bearings, gears, threaded fasteners and helical springs. (coreq: ME 309 , ME 361 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• calculate factors of safety for ductile and brittle components subjected to static and cyclic loading
• be familiar with terminology associated with various machine components
• design or select shafts, journal and rolling-element bearings, spur and helical gears, threaded fasteners, and helical springs
Prerequisites by Topic
• Mechanics of materials, dynamics of machinery
Course Topics
• Static design (3 classes)
• Traditional tolerances (1 class)
• Static failure criteria (1 class)
