Course Description
【Course Title】Mechanical Design A
【Course Aims】
1. to Master basic considerations, procedures and rules on common mechanical design as well as national standard and law. To be able to design universal machinery using national standard, design handbook and other technical references.
2. to master basic knowledge and method of universal mechanical part. To understand structural characteristic, application, material and process of the mechanical part and have ability to select configuration, material and its heat treatment for a part. Train students to be capable of research and analyze effects of structure, material, process and heat treatment on part performance so that they can solve complex engineering mechanical problem and can develop new machine.
3. to grasp basic theory of mechanical part design，and comprehend other subjects application in mechanical design. Be able to model engineering practical problems by using prerequisite courses (including mathematics, mechanics and material, etc.), and to analyze and design common mechanical parts so as to train students to creatively solve engineering problems.
4. Master method of testing typical power transmission components. Be able to test performances of common transmission parts so as to train student to develop new mechanical products.
【Course Contents】
This course has 12 chapters, and is mainly dedicated to general knowledge on mechanical element design, as described below: type, performance, structure, application, material, standard, and so on; basic principles and method, failure, and criteria of service ability evaluation; Trends and frontiers in mechanical design; Utilizations of modern design methods in mechanical elements design.
【Target Students]】The target students of the course mainly are the undergraduates of excellent engineers classes in mechanical engineering, automobile engineering, agricultural mechanization and automation.
