Learning unit contents
Advanced mechanical design
Advanced Mechanical Design lectures aim to familiarizate you with advanced machines and industrial equipments design. Starting from design methodology, it is focused on description of the most used in industry machine elements, the knowledge of their main performances and their sizing methodologies. You will exploit sizing methodologies within these lectures in order to justify your design selections. Specific numerical tools in machine design will be used. A specific attention to machine design standards (ISO, DIN, ANSI, ...) will also be drawn all along the lectures.
Design methodology
Industrial applications
Technical drawings recognition and function identification
Tribology : lubrication, coatings and wear phenomenae
Numerical tools in mechanical engineering design (Machine design)
Guidance elements (Rolling element bearings, plain bearings, spherical plain bearings and rod ends, slewing rings, linear guidance systems, ...).
Driving elements (Profiled screw drives, ball screw drives, roller screw drives, satellite roller screw drives, ...)
Driven linear units (Actuators, linear modules and tables, ...).
Fatigue sizing of shaft lines following DIN743 or FKM guidelines
Industrial visit or failure anlysis of a case study
Integrated mechanical engineering project
The integrated project of mechanical engineering aims at developing the students' ability to carry out a design project from idea and conceptual design to prototyping and pre manufacturing steps.
This course at extending the education of mechanical engineering students in providing elements of technology and giving them the tools and methodology to fetch the missing knowledges when necessary.
The students will have to solve a open design problem in a group of two students.
The project will be basd on:
- Theroretical lectures by university members
- Seminars given by field experts generally from industry
- Practical training such as lab session and visits of plants
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Advanced mechanical design
Being able to read and understand an industrial drawing (What do(n't) I understand within an industrial drawing ?)
Being able to identify main machines functions (How does it work ?)
Descriptive knowledge of the most used machine elements (What is the purpose of this machine element ?)
Sizing practice of the most used standard components (What and how to check this machine element ?)
Get close to industry related practices (Guidelines, Standards, Recommendations)
Integrated mechanical engineering project
- Master background technologies in mechanical engineering.
- Management of a design project in mechanical engineering from design to prototyping and preparation of manufacturing phase. Besides technical developments, this includes the management of the organization, planning and budget.
- Define the specification for a mechanical project.
- Design a mechanical component or system.
- Apply theoretical concepts (for instance in physics, material science, heat transfer, thermodynamics, CAD, modelling methods) to the study of a mechnical system.
- Present in a clear and synthetic manner complex enginering problems and their solution in front of people of the field.
- Prepare a technical file related to a design problem.
- Search for scientific and technical information and exploit it.
- Work in a team.
