Course (certified) on Tech Diplomacy

This subject is dedicated to teach the basic principles, methods and problems of machine design. The aim is to prepare for solving easy construction problems individually: to create structural, mechanical and mathematical models, recognize the failure and damage modes, estimate the load and limit conditions, perform sizing and checking processes, especially on rolling bearings, different types of mechanical drives, couplings and clutches, drives, drive systems. The course is directed towards future engineers who are interested in the mechanical design and its fundamentals and principles. The skill of students in solution of real engineering problems will be improved by discussing solved machine component related problems and design projects. 5 hours/6 credits.
