Qualifications

Basics of statics and strenghth of materials

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The student is able to solve basic cases correctly; knows how to calculate the effect of bending moment's stress distribution on an axis, for example

Assessment criteria, good (3)

The student is able to apply basic knowledge broadly; calculate stress distribution of gear assembly's axis when a cogwheel is under the influence of mesh load in parallel to wheel radius and axis

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student is able to apply basic knowledge broadly; calculate stress distribution on a gear assembly's axis and the mesh load which is in parallel to wheel radius and axis AND torsional stress on the cogwheel, for example
