Machine elements (5 cr)

Objective

The student will learn to dimension and select statically loaded joints between machine elements. The student will learn to understand engineering material properties in theory and in practice and is able to create suitable machine part combinations.

Content

• Machine element joints: spring, screw, weld, deformation, glue and brazing
• Machine hub and shaft joints: prescribed form and friction
• Tensile, shear, bending and toughness tests
• Creep and fatigue
• Effect of manufacturing method on material selection
