MT 2601 - Mechanical Components4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course introduces the design process. Fundamentals of gears, shafts, bearings, belts and chains, and miscellaneous other hardware are studied. Selection of components from catalogs and handbooks is emphasized. (prereq: MT 205 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• apply concepts from mechanics of materials to analyze structural components under static loads
• apply fatigue analysis to power transmission shafting under alternating loads
• analyze and select mechanical components, including gears, rolling-element bearings, springs, threaded fasteners, belt drives, chain drives, and clutches
• be introduced to finding relevant engineering information on components
