Mechanical design 2

This course concludes the technology component of the Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, CDPI track, which consists of four modules. It aims to provide students with the tools to understand and design complex mechanical systems (automatic transmissions, power transmission mechanisms, etc.).

Half of this module is based on lectures/tutorials to study pulley-belt systems, clutches/brakes, and preloaded systems with applications to preloaded bearing assemblies. At the same time, the course draws on practical work analyzing different mechanical systems (CVT gearboxes, automatic gearboxes, brakes, clutches, preloaded bearing assemblies, etc.), as well as practical design work to apply the skills acquired to specific case studies.

• Analyze a power transmission chain for pulleys and belts, calculate the associated characteristics (transmission ratio, efficiency, etc.), select and size a belt drive using a manufacturer's catalog.
• Size a brake/clutch integrated into a power transmission chain according to the operating conditions imposed. Select the appropriate component from a manufacturer's catalog.
• Calculate the mechanical forces applied to each bearing within a preloaded bearing assembly and dimension it statically and dynamically using a manufacturer's catalog.
