KOC UNIVERSITY
Department of Mechanical Engineering
MECH 303 Machine Design

This course provides students with the opportunity to develop and demonstrate an understanding of the basic procedures used in the design of mechanical systems. Topics covered include stress, deflection and stiffness analyses, statistical and reliability considerations, theories of failure for ductile and brittle materials, fatigue design, permanent joints, springs, bearings, gears, and flexible elements. Students are expected to acquire and exhibit the ability to apply this material and methodology in making rational design decisions for elements of typical practical mechanical systems.

Lectures: Monday 8.30 - 9.45
Wednesday 8.30 - 9.45

Problem Sessions: There is a PS hour every week. Please see the Schedule for session times.

Exams: Two mid-term exams and one final exam will be given. The mid-term exams will be closed-book. The final exam has two parts: 1) Closed Book part will contain several questions in the form of a) fill in the blanks, b) true/false, c) identify the figure/diagram, and d) small design probems. 2) The Open Book part will contain standard design problems. The exam dates will be announced by the registrars’office.

Project: The project involves software analyses using a finite element package (ANSYS). Students will work in groups.

Grading:

Project 25%

Exam-I 25 %

                                               Final               30 %
Academic
Integrity:                               Academic honesty is expected of all students.
                                               Discussions between students are highly encouraged, but copying a homework or a code
                                               from others is strickly prohibited and will result in the failure in the course.
