Mechanical Systems Design

Course aim

To develop the ability of systematic design of machines or systems for service and reliability.

Course content

Reliability Based Design of Machine Structural-Elements under static Loading; Reliability Based Design of a Mixed Engineering System via Series/Parallel/Mixed Modelling; Vibrations of Mechanical Systems: equation of motion of undamped, damped and forced vibration of Multi-degree systems and its solution using free-body-diagram and energy method, matrix equation of motion of multi-degree lumped parameter systems and its solution via eigen-value problem, vibration of continuous systems and rectilinear modelling of lumped parameter tortional vibratory systems via Abhary’s method.
