Synopsis of Course Contents Designs of Mechanical Elements have been prepared specifically to intro-
duce the mechanical elements which often used in mechanical machines.
This course also introduces the concept of design in the engineering envi-
ronment and provides hands-on experience of the design process for the
mechanical engineering students. The topic covered the review of failure
mechanisms in the context of machine design and considers the analysis
and safe design of various common elements of engineering systems such
as pressure vessels, shafts, gears, bearings, etc. Throughout the course,
the application and integration of these components in assemblies are
demonstrated through examples, case studies and a project involving the
detail design of a number of mechanical assemblies and machines.
