Aims
This module introduces an extended range of mechanical principles that underpin the design and operation of mechanical engineering systems. Also it introduces approaches and techniques to determine the behavioural characteristics of engineering components and materials in machines.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the scientific concepts of engineering
statics and dynamics.
2.
Apply these concepts in problem solving.
3.
Relate these concepts to practical applications.
4.
Develop a design based on these concepts.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Kinematics of particles and rigid bodies.
Principles of mechanical engineering systems and their applications (e.g. thermal systems, energy, fluid power systems, control systems, mechanics etc.).
Two- and three-dimensional loading.
Loaded beams.
Stresses in cylinders.
Introduction to friction clutches, belt drives, gear trains.
Plane mechanisms.
Balancing of rotating masses.
Mechanical vibrations (Underdamped, overdamped and critically damped).
