Subject outline
Mechanical components are all around us facilitating transportation and robotics through to defence and even in DVD players. In this subject you will be introduced to the core concepts in the analysis and design of mechanical components of machines. This includes principles of materials engineering, solid mechanics, materials selection, stress, deformation, wear, failure mechanisms and safety. Standard methodologies for conducting machine component design including gears, camshafts and screws will be presented and used to solve mechatronics problems of mechanical power transfer and conversion. Relevant engineering standards and codes will be included to provide the framework for the solutions to the above problems. Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies covered in this subject are:1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.3
