Machine design Basics - I - Shaft, Bearings & Gears udemy course
Learn about the fundamentals of design of common rotating machinery components in mechanical design engineering
Machine design is a large subset of study under mechanical engineering design which includes design of common components used in machines.
This is a mega-course of 3 courses in 1 which covers multiple aspects of design of Shafts and elements which are generally mounted it - Bearings and Gears.
It is a deep dive into the Shaft design process and selection also deals with the Bearing selection in detail . Then moving to a deep dive in Gear design with practical CAD design of gears based on input specifications.
Topics covered:
Shaft and layout design
Basics of simple power transmission system design
Loads and Load cases
Materials and manufacturing of shafts
Basics of Shaft design
Layout scheme and General lay outing
Keys and key ways
