MCE-367 – Machine Design I

Spring 2010, SH 314, Tue/Thurs 1:00-2:50pm

Objective: To provide students a systematic approach for design and analysis of machine components within the framework of realistic constraints such as cost, size, weight, materials and safety. The emphasis is on the design of machine components for strength. To convey to the students and understanding of: Stress, strain and stress strain relationships; Introduction to finite element methods; Failure theories under static loading; Failure of machine members under fatigue loading; Design of threaded fasteners; Design of mechanical springs, and other topics as time allows.

Textbook:      ShigleyÕs Mechanical Engineering Design, Ninth Edition, Richard G. Budynas and Keith Nisbett, , McGraw Hill Book Company

Reference:      Fundamentals of Machine Component Design, Juvinall and Marshek, Wiley

Policies:

  1. Homework will be assigned every Tuesday and collected the following Tuesday.
  2. Quizzes will be held every Thursday. They will be based largely on the homework that was due that week or from the lecture material from the previous week.
  3. Attendance is mandatory. Tardiness and leaving class early without prior arrangement are not acceptable. Homework is collected at the 4pm sharp and will not be accepted after the lecture begins. Quizzes may be given at any time during Thursday's lecture.
  4. Bring your book and notes to every quiz and exam.
  5. Absolutely no electronics other than your calculator may be used during class unless you have spoken to me ahead of time about it.
  6. Grades on any given assignment, quiz or exam are based on the University standard plus/minus system.
