B019083 - COMPLEMENTS OF MACHINE DESIGN

Italian

Materials, elements and complementary regulatory aspects of machine design and construction.

Lecturer's handouts and for further study:
- Vincenzo Dal Re, Lezioni del corso di costruzione di macchine per ingegneria chimica, Esculapio, 1994
- S. Timoshenko, S. Woinowsky-Krieger, Theory of Plates and Shells, 2a ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1959

The aim of the course is to transfer to the students the knowledge complementary to the topics covered in the Machine Construction course and functional to the completion of the skills related to the design of mechanical systems in accordance with the European regulations and standards.

CA4: Applying knowledge and understanding related to the implementation of engineering projects adapted to their level of knowledge and understanding, working in collaboration with engineers and non-engineers. The projects may concern components, equipment and mechanical systems of various kinds and for the widest possible applications.

CA5: Applying in-depth knowledge and understanding related to the choice and use of appropriate equipment, tools, procedures and methods, knowing their limits and potential; in particular the ability to conduct even complex experiments, manage and employ advanced instrumentation and software, with appropriate analytical capabilities.

CA9: Applying knowledge and understanding related to the critically assessment of data and results, drawing appropriate conclusions, aware of the degree of uncertainty that may affect them.

CA12: Applying adequate knowledge and understanding to understand English texts.

CC4: Knowledge and understanding of numerical methods for the design and verification of mechanical components and/or systems, including numerical models for the correct representation of material behaviour. Knowledge of analysis types necessary to carry out the aforesaid design and verification activity according to the most recent requirements of the industrial world.

CC5: Knowledge and understanding of materials and their behaviour in the various loading conditions found in design practice. Methods for characterising material behaviour.

CC6: In-depth knowledge and understanding of production systems and technologies. Understanding the advantages and limitations of technologies and process choices in different application contexts. Knowledge of methods for the representation of mechanical components and systems, and for their reconstruction from artefacts, deepening the aspects strictly connected with production systems and technologies

Lectures and tutorials.

Oral test. The questions are of a theoretical and applicative nature. The student must demonstrate that he has acquired a basic knowledge of the topics, skill to approach problems, and familiarity with the use of methodologies and tools concerning the subjects being taught.

The programme will be divided into two distinct sections complementary to the topics covered in the Machine Construction course.
Section 1_Complements of mechanical design
- Theory of shells and plates
- Design of composite materials
- Classification of composites
- Outline of manufacturing processes
- Micro-macro mechanics of the laminate
- The Classical Theory of Laminates (TCL)

Section 2_Integrating safety into machine design:
- Guidance on the implementation of European Union product regulations
- Guidance on the use of technical regulations in mechanical design
- Main product directives in the mechanical sector and their implications for design and construction
- Methods, tools and harmonised technical regulations: from risk analysis to design solutions for the safety of machinery
