Course Objectives The aim of the course is to provide students with information about the mechanisms and product details they can use in the product design process.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Have knowledge about the mechanical and physical properties of materials.
  • Have knowledge about basic structure concepts.
  • Understands what simple mechanisms are and their place in product design.
  • Can analyze designed products.
  • Have knowledge about detail elements that can be used in product design.
Course Content Introducing basic concepts of structure concepts and construction of application projects with simple materials, introducing the physical and mechanical properties of materials, analysing loads, forces and pressure, analysing properties of objects, materials (rigidity and elasticit) and actions (tensile, compression, bending and folding).
