ME 3400 - Mechanical Engineering Design I

Prerequisite(s): EM 3100.
This course is intended to give students a working knowledge to design and analyze machine components and structures. Stress analysis and deflection analysis of various mechanical components including pressure vessels, rotating rings and disks, press and shrink fits, curved beams, and contact stresses will be discussed. Fundamentals of statistical considerations in design will be reviewed. Static and dynamic failure theories will be discussed and applied to the design of machine components. Specific design problems will be set during the semester. Credit(s): 3 (3 plus 0)
