Engineering Design

Description

Overview: This module aims to provide knowledge and understanding of engineering design principles Application of the above principles to the detailed and conceptual design of mechanical components and assemblies. Syllabus: • Analysis of structural systems 1D (Beams), 2D (frames), 3D (Space Frames) • Practical application of Buckling and instability (Euler and Johnson Buckling) • Dynamics: Velocity Acceleration and Intertia analysis in computer based mechanism analysis • Basic FEA • Weld Design • Snap Fastening design • Fatigue: Stress Concentration factors, Notch Sensitivity, Goodman Diagram Factor of Safety • Bearing Types and Terminology: Static/Dynamic Loading Factors, L10 life • Gear Types and Terminology: Spur, Bevel, Pitch, Modulus • Fastening and Fabrication: Basic stressing of Blots, Rivets, Snap fastening and Butt and filet welds Learning Outcomes: Criteria - For each of the Module Learning Outcomes the following criteria will be used to make judgements on student learning. These outcomes are based on the Engineering Council’s Degree Accreditation programme and the references used are linked to the 3rd edition of‘ Accreditation of HE Programmes’ (AHEP), May 2014. LO1 Carry out analysis of indeterminate systems. (EA1b, EA2, P2, SM1b, SM2b). LO2 Carry out basic FEA analysis using 3D geometry defined in a CAD system. (EA1b,EA2, EA3b, P2, SM2b). LO3 Carry out analysis of structures for buckling and instability. (EA1b, EA2, SM1b,SM2b). LO4 Carry out motion analysis of mechanisms. (D3b, EA1b, EA2, G1, P2, P4, SM1b, SM2b). LO5 Carry out stress analyse for components (i.e. shafts) subjected to fatigue loading.(EA1b, EA2, EA3b, P2, P4, SM2b). LO6 Perform selection procedures for common components such as gears and bearings.(EA1b, EA2, EA3b, P2, P4, SM2b). LO7 Carry out stressing of common fastening and fabrication methods. (EA1b, EA2, P2,SM1b, SM2b). Assessment: 1 x Examination (3hrs) = 70% 4 x Courseworks = 30% Students need to gain a summative mark of 40% to pass the module. Students who fail the module at the first attempt will be re-examined during the August diet. This re-examination will consist entirely of exam.
