ME-105: Introduction to mechanical design

Le cours de ME-105 vise à l'acquisition du langage normalisé de la communication technique en conception mécanique et d'une culture technique de base, via une revue des concepts, composants, et méthodologies, et la réalisation par les étudiants d'un projet ...

Description

This lecture covers the principles of gear design and analysis, focusing on straight gears and bevel gears. It begins with the fundamental concepts of gear strength, including maximum stress conditions and practical resistance in traction. The instructor presents examples to illustrate how to calculate the minimum module required for gears under specific loads. The discussion extends to the characteristics of bevel gears, including their angular velocity and the relationships between different gear parameters. The lecture also addresses the importance of material selection and the impact of friction in gear systems. Additionally, the instructor explains the mechanics of worm gears, emphasizing their unique properties and applications. Throughout the lecture, various calculations and examples are provided to reinforce the theoretical concepts, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of gear mechanics and their practical implications in mechanical engineering.

Taskbar

The Taskbar is a graphical user interface element that has been part of Microsoft Windows since Windows 95, displaying and facilitating switching between running programs. The Taskbar and the associated Start Menu were created and named in 1993 by Daniel Oran, a program manager at Microsoft who had previously collaborated on Great ape language research with the behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner at Harvard. The Taskbar is an exemplar of a category of always-visible graphical user interface elements that provide access to fundamental operating system functions and information.

Engineering

Engineering is the practice of using natural science, mathematics, and the engineering design process to solve problems, increase efficiency and productivity, and improve systems. Modern engineering comprises many subfields which include designing and creating infrastructure, machinery, vehicles, electronics, materials, and energy. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application.

Windows shell

The Windows shell is the graphical user interface for the Microsoft Windows operating system. Its readily identifiable elements consist of the desktop, the taskbar, the Start menu, the task switcher and the AutoPlay feature. On some versions of Windows, it also includes Flip 3D and the charms. In Windows 10, the Windows Shell Experience Host interface drives visuals like the Start Menu, Action Center, Taskbar, and Task View/Timeline.

Chemical engineering

Chemical engineering is an engineering field which deals with the study of operation and design of chemical plants as well as methods of improving production. Chemical engineers develop economical commercial processes to convert raw materials into useful products. Chemical engineering uses principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, and economics to efficiently use, produce, design, transport and transform energy and materials.

Epicyclic gearing

An epicyclic gear train (also known as a planetary gearset) consists of two gears mounted so that the center of one gear revolves around the center of the other. A carrier connects the centers of the two gears and rotates the planet and sun gears mesh so that their pitch circles roll without slip. A point on the pitch circle of the planet gear traces an epicycloid curve. In this simplified case, the sun gear is fixed and the planetary gear(s) roll around the sun gear.
