Syllabus Outline

The key aim of the course is to establish design practices through lectures, coursework and self-learning. Itemphasises practical hands-on design approach with 'real' components. The course include:

* Using standard mechanical components (fasteners, seals, bearings, etc.) and features (location, limits and fits,welds, stress raisers, etc.)

* Selection or specification of bought-out equipment (making use of catalogue library and Technical Index).* Use of I-DEAS solid modelling software.* Integration of analytical areas, especially stress analysis, into the design process.* Selection of materials. For example, heat treatment of metals, structure behaviour and manufacturing process

of ceramics.* Composite structures, anisotropic conditions, high performance composites, metal matrix and ceramic matrix

composites.* Failure mechanisms in components and materials: fatigue, creep, corrosion and fracture toughness.

Mechanisms involved in these failures.* Design and material selection to overcome likely failure modes. NDT and non-destructive evaluation,

techniques. Case studies of failure.

Teaching and Learning Methods

Lectures introduce theoretical concepts and present practical examples used in mechanical design and studentsconduct several individual assignments, using both drawing board and CAD, covering various aspects of thelearning material.

Reading Strategy

Students will not be expected to purchase a set text for this module. Essential lecture notes will be providedelectronically. A printed study pack will be provided for the design component of the module.
