It is assumed that you are familiar with strength of materials concepts (AM 220), static and dynamic failure analysis (ME 226) and dynamics of machinery (ME 222). If these things sound vaguely familiar, then it is time to dust o those notes and review the concepts. In this course we begin with 3 design case studies, which we will re-visit throughout the course. Any machine is going to be made up of dierent elements and the goal of this course is to understand how to design each of these elements in an integrated fashion (keeping in mind the overall design requirements of the machine, they are a part of).
