Application of analytical methods, material science, and mechanics to problems in design and analysis of machine components. Includes the design of mechanical components such as bearings, gears, shafting, springs, fasteners, belts, clutches, and brakes, and takes into consideration factors such as manufacturability and realibility. Design projects with open-eneded and interactive problems are assigned to intergrate several machine elements in a system

Topics:

1. Introduction and Fundamental
2. Load and stress analysis
3. Deflection and Stiffness
4. Failures resulting from static loading

5. Failures resulting from variable loading
6. Design of shafts and its accessories
7. Design of power screws and fastening screws
8. Design of coil springs and leaf springs
9. Design of ball and roller bearings.
10.Design of flexible components drives  (belts, chains and slings)
