Objectives

The mechanical integration of product parts is a fundamental feature to be considered on its design. It conditions parts shape and materials and so, their production processes. Assembly easiness and its possible automation, reliability, reparability and recyclability are all factors strongly influenced by the mechanical integration methods used.
From the designer intention to include some feature in a system (rotation axis, gliding system, cover, lock, etc.) to its capacity of implementing it in a economic, reliable and long-lasting way goes a distance that can only be shortened using past experiences – many times through users evaluation and malfunctioning analysis.
Students should acquire the competence of, under a design framework, choose and propose detail solutions suited to usual product development conditions.

Program

Description and analysis of design solutions based on joining and motion transmission components.
Description and analysis of the characteristics of each solution taking into account materials specification, production processes, assembly and disassembly operations, application area, etc. Main subjects: 1. Elements of mechanical efforts, presenting simple examples / 1.1. Traction / 1.2. Compression / 1.3. Bending / 1.4. Torsion / 1.5. Shear / 2. Joining Methods / 2.1. Fixed Joints / 2.1.1. Disassemblable / 2.1.2. Non-disassemblable / 2.2. Mobile Joints / 2.2.1. Translating / 2.2.2. Rotary / 3. Elementary mechanisms / 3.1. Levers and Wedges / 3.2. Reducers / 4. Motion type transformation / 4.1. From rotation to translation / 4.2. From translation to rotation / 5. Analysis of some case studies

Teaching methods and learning activities

The fundamentals of several parts connecting methods, providing fixed or mobile joints, disassemblable or not, as well as some basic mechanisms enabling the manual or power-driven indirect actuation of a part will the presented in recitation classes. These presentations will be complemented by the analysis of a number of actual cases.
The evaluation will be of the distributed type without final exam, and the students will be evaluated through 3 components:
i. An individual multiple-response test (IT).
ii. A Report, written by a group of 2 students, on the research and evaluation of solutions for a case study. These reports will follow a fixed template enabling the building of a project "vade mecum" over course editions (Rep).
iii. The Making Solutions component in the framework of the curricular unit Project Lab II (Proj).
The Final Mark (FM) will be given by: FM=0,25*IT+0,5*Rep+0,25*Proj

Eligibility for exams

The student cannot exceeds 25% of the number of planned classes

Calculation formula of final grade

The students are evaluated through 3 components:
i. Individual exam of multiple answers (TI)
ii. Report, groups of 2 students, relatively to an exercise of search and evaluation of one case study. These reports will be formatted following a predetermined model, allowing the construction of a projectual "vade mecum" that will be added with the runing editions (Rel).
iii. Component of conception of constructive solutions relatively to the curricular unit Projects Lab II (Proj).
The final grade (CF) will be:
CF=0,25*TI+0,5*Rel+0,25*Proj
In the case of the student fail the CU, he can do an extra exam only to the TI component

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

The same as for the other students

Classification improvement

The student only can improve the TI component of the final grade.
