## MEC E 360 Mechanical Design II

**Subject & Number:** MEC E 360

**Title:** Mechanical Design II

**Course Career**

**Units**: 3

**Approved Hours:** 3-0-1.5

**Fee index:** 8

**Faculty:** [Faculty of Engineering]{.mark}

**Department:** Mechanical Engineering

**Typically Offered:** either term or Spring/Summer

### Calendar Description

Design procedures, theories of failure, material selection, design for
fatigue, creep and relaxation, selection of gears and bearings and
application of computer-aided design software. Prerequisite: MEC E 260
and 265, MAT E 202 and CIV E 270. Corequisite: MEC E 362.

### Course Objectives & General Content 

MecE 360 is a design-focused course that aims to build on previous
design experience obtained through MecE 260 and the static analysis of
CivE 270. We will introduce students to the concepts of designing
components and assemblies while considering more advanced topics such as
materials, fatigue loading, and stress concentrations. Furthermore,
iterative design and analysis, and how to approach this process, will be
a primary focus. The use of standards in the design process will also be
incorporated extensively. The main learning objective for the class is
to apply theory and standard principles to the design and selection of
shafts, gears, and bearings.

Deadline extensions for term work will be considered on a case-by-base
basis and special/extenuating circumstances may be accommodated;
however, the default will be that extensions will not be granted.

### Learning outcomes

1.  Select engineering materials based on design requirements

2.  Design shafts taking into consideration static loads, fatigue,
    attached components type and size, and applicable standards

3.  Design and select gears based on bending and contact stresses

4.  Select bearings for a given application based on fatigue life
    considerations

5.  Design and selection of bolts, screws and fasteners

6.  Apply design concepts and communicate results in intensive group
    project

7.  Appreciate the use of relevant standards for design applications

### Textbooks and References

[Recommended:]{.underline}

Machine Design: An Integrated Approach, 5th Edition by Robert L. Norton
is strongly encouraged in this course. This textbook will serve as
supplemental material to support fundamental course content, and may
also serve as a resource for completion of your design projects in MECE
360 and 460. For example, in MecE 360, this textbook will be referenced
extensively for shaft and gear design, and it may be useful for students
to access content contained therein (e.g. stress concentration factor
charts and tables). Finally, this textbook is highly recommended as a
resource in your career as a mechanical engineer and is heavily used by
many practicing mechanical engineers, particularly for mechanical design
(e.g. fits and tolerances, component stress analysis).
