Synopsis
This course is designed to expose students to analysis in machine design element failure theories. This includes failures due to static and fatigue loads. It involves fatigue strength and endurance level, modified stress, Goodman diagram and fatigue design under tensile and combined stresses. The content will encompass the design and selection of bolts, welding, spring, ball and roller bearing, gears and belts. At the end of the course, a student should have the capabilities to identify, make analysis and design the machine elements in the perspective of static and fatigue failure aspect.
Course Learning Outcome (CLO)
- Analyze and predict static and fatigue failure of machine components using relevant theories
