Content (Syllabus outline)

Lectures: Basic definitions and concepts related to design of machine elements. General principles of determining the stress state of machine elements under loading and safety factors with corresponding allowable stress in relation to the operational conditions and strength of engineering materials. Theoretical and practical background of basic machine elements, their technical specifications, applicable design rules and calculation methods for inseparable joints (welding, soldering, adhesive and bolt joints), separable joints (threaded fasteners, axel and wheel joints, auxiliary joint elements), springs and auxiliary elements for motion transfer (axels, bearings, washers, axel connections and clutches) and elements for motion transfer, i.e. friction, belt, chain and gear drives (spur, helical, bevel and worm gears). Training in green and digital content, emphasizing sustainable products and production, circular economy, artificial intelligence, and Industry 6.0. Tutorials: Tutorials supplement lectures with practical solutions of problems related to design of machine elements. Laboratory work: Laboratory work is intended for practical student work with treated machine elements.

Learning and teaching methods

• Lectures blended with interactive, student-focused methods (collaborative and problem-based learning, discussions). • Hands-on work in labs and classroom sessions, using active learning approaches (collaboration, problem-solving, and discussions).

Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding

Prerequisits

Acquired knowledge from the 1st study year. The students can take the calculation and theoretical exam, when they show 100% attendance at the laboratory work and have positively graded (in average at least 50 % or more) laboratory reports. Written theoretical and practical examination of gained competences and intended learning outcomes of students is evaluated at final examination, which can be substituted with positively graded continuous examination during the course in form of written MCQ and tests.
