Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to understand and work on the following three main elements :

Subject 1- understand More advanced theoretical concepts of design.

Subject 2- Assembly Project of wind turbine system :
The students apply all the theoretical design aspects and computer aided design on a project developed by the professor.
-Starting from the old existent design to modify and improve or create a new design using CREO dynamic assembly and dynamic joints

3- Mechanics calculation ( machine cinematic)

Content
Subject 1 (More advanced theoretical concepts of design)
• PRECISION MACHINE DESIGN
• Principal criteria for joint functioning ( static and dynamic)
• Guide Performances (without rolling elements) (shaft/housing) in rotation
• Plain Bearings (Bushings)
• Ball/roller bearing Design, Bearing Load Ratings and Life Calculations
• APTE method (APplication to business TEchniques)
• Mechnaism using CREO software + simulation + kinematics+ dynamics + static. They developed their understanding of theoretical design +kinematics+ dynamics using CREO software.
• Mechanisms/Linkages: Kinematic Constraints, Degree of Freedom (Mobility) in Planar and Spatial Mechanisms Mechanisms, Gruebler's equation, Types of kinematic chains

Subject 2:
2- Assembly Project of wind turbine system :
The students apply all the theoretical design aspects and computer aided design on a project developed by the professor.
Objectives of the project:
-Starting from the old existent design to modify and improve or create a new design using CREO dynamic assembly and dynamic joints.

-Find the design solution on the paper
• Create the sub-assemblies
• Create the assembly of final new design+ mechanism: dynamic joins, simulations, kinematics,
• Create the drawing draft for the created and modified designed parts

Subject 3- Mechanics calculation ( machine cinematic)
1. POSITION ANALYSIS
2. VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION ANALYSIS
-velocity/acceleration polygon for mechanisms- analysis (relative velocity method)
-position, velocity and acceleration analyses for planar mechanisms using complex number method (analytical method)
Pre-requisites / co-requisites
Mechanical design 1
