Mechanical Power Transmission
Description
This module is a continuation of the machine elements introduced in mechanics and dynamics of machines in year 2 and the year 3 mechanical design modules of the programme. The aim of the module is to provide the learner with knowledge on how to best integrate machine elements into a mechanical power transmission systems. The module will cover the sizing and selection of various components types, which can be used in a mechanical power transmission system.
Learning Outcomes
Describe different component types and sub-types typically used in mechanical power transmission systems.
Select appropriately-sized machine elements from international standards and commercial catalogues for use in mechanical power transmission systems.
Design a mechanical power transmission system by optimising the arrangement of selected machine elements.
Describe the procedures for installation, operation, and maintenance of machine elements in mechanical power transmission systems.
Examine the environmental impact of components in a mechanical power transmission system.
