The Theories and methods developed in statics, dynamics, and strength of materials are applied to the selection of basic machine components. The course will develop the fundamental principles required for the selection of the individual elements of which a machine is composed. The subject of machine element calculation is the tool used to dimension the integral parts of a machine subject to different types of static and dynamic stresses resulting from its operation. The course aims to introduce students to the different standard elements used in the industry and each provide a standardized calculation process that allows proper sizing. The course content includes as essential: design concepts and criteria for selection of materials for industrial machinery, calculation of transmissions with gears, belts and pulleys, chains ets., calculating coupling shafts and pins, keyways, bearings, joints between pieces with rivets, welding and threaded joints.
