Deals with various machine design fundamentals and the use of integrated design software. Design for fatigue and consideration of fracture mechanics is emphasized. Topics include: the selection of fasteners, rolling element bearings, V-belts and roller chains and the design of coil and leaf springs, spur gears, clutches and brakes. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): ME 313.3 (taken), ME 226.3, [ME 251.3 or (ME 113.3 (taken) and GE 210.3 (taken))], ME 324.3 (taken), and MATH 224.3 (taken).
