Advanced Course in Machine Elements (6 cr)

Objectives (course unit)

Student is able to choose and dimension the central machine elements and transmissions of mechanical engineering and power transmission as axis couplings, brakes, chain and timing belt drives. Student understands the joint alternatives of machine elements in mechanical engineering and power transmission and can dimension the central joints such as rivet joints, axis-hub joints (an adhesive joint and profile axes) and joints of the axes (the couplings and universal joints). Student knows the standard-based dimensioning, and can with machine elements form bigger units and components such as motor-coupling-gear units. Students knows e.g. the basics of balancing of rotating parts and alignment of shafts and is able proceed them.
