Course Content
This course covers the introduction, functions, and calculation principles of fundamental machine elements used in mechanical systems. It teaches the selection of appropriate components such as bolts, nuts, pins, shafts, bearings, gears, belts, chains, and springs according to material properties, design criteria, and operating conditions. The course also includes the interpretation and creation of technical drawings, assembly relations, and standard representations of these elements through practical exercises.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to provide students with knowledge about the functions, operating principles, and selection criteria of fundamental machine components used in mechanical systems. Students learn the roles, materials, manufacturing methods, and assembly relationships of elements such as bolts, nuts, pins, shafts, bearings, gears, belts, chains, and springs. The course also develops the ability to interpret and draw technical representations of these components.
