Course Objectives The aim of this course is to introduce students with fundamental Machine Elements in mechanical systems. Besides introduction of the machine elements, some mechanics of materials related topics such as 3-D stress analysis and failure theories are also given.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • The students will have the ability to analyze stress state at a point in members under combined loading.
  • The students will have the ability to apply static and fatigue failure theories to mechanical design problems.
  • The students will have the ability to design shafts, threaded fasteners, gear drives, springs and flexible machine elements.
  • The students will have the ability to select rolling contact bearings.
  • The students will have the ability to identify and explain clutches, brakes, couplings and flywheels.
Course Content 2-D and 3-D stress analysis; static failure criteria, factor of safety; fatigue failure criteria, S-N curves, stress concentration; design of shafts and detachable joints; design of threaded fasteners and power screws; design of rolling contact bearings; power transmission; design of gear drives, spur gears, helical gears; design of belt drives;
