After successful completion of the course, students are able to create functional, material-appropriate, production-oriented and load-compliant designs of machine components and they are able to realise a proof of strength.

• Manufacturing oriented design (machining, cast design, welded connections)

• Strength calculation (materials, basic knowledge about stresses, causes of component failure, proof of strength according to the FKM guideline

• Selected machine elements (roller bearings, screws, springs)

Discussion of design examples, calculation of practice examples.

Important note:

In the summer semester 2019, the FKM guideline for the verification of component strength was included in the teaching content of this lecture. Previous lecture notes (2018 and before) that are not based on the FKM guideline are therefore no longer part of this course.

Lecture notes are available.
