ME 262 — Mechanisms Synthesis and Analysis I
BSc BSc Mechanical Engineering · Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
Objectives After completing this, course students should able to; gain an understanding of design philosophies and able to design machine members under the three types of loading know the failure prevention, consists of three types of loading on the prevention of failure of mechanical parts. know why machine parts fail and how they can be designed to prevent these failures, one on preventing failure due to static loads, and the other on preventing fatigue failure due to time-varying, cyclic loads and finally on preventing failure due to impact loading. Content Basic Stress Analysis for Machine Design: Stress Concentration; Normal Stress; Shearing Stress; Stress Analysis for Pure and Combined Loading. Failures Resulting from Static Loading: Static Strength; Stress Concentration; Failure Theories for Ductile Materials; Failure of Ductile Materials Summary; Failure Theories for Brittle Materials; Failure of Brittle Materials Summary; Selection of Failure Criteria; Fatigue Failure Resulting from Variable Loading: Introduction to Fatigue in Metals; Approach to Fatigue Failure in Analysis and Design; Fatigue-Life Methods; The Endurance Limit; Characterizing Fluctuating Stresses; Fatigue Failure Criteria for Fluctuating Stress; Torsional Fatigue Strength under Fluctuating Stresses; Combinations of Loading Modes. Mode of Delivery The mode of delivery of this course will be blended i.e., in person and online Reading Materials Product Design by Kevin Otto & Kristin Wood, ISBN 0-13-021271-7 Design of Machine Elements by M.
