Machine Elements for Mechatronics
This lecture gives a basic overview of the major machine elements in
the field of mechanical engineering. Their functions and their
interaction in machine systems will be explained, advantages and
disadvantages presented. On the basis of the fundamental methods of
strength analysis the design and dimensioning of exemplary machine
elements is taught. After taking this lecture the student should be
able to correctly select machine elements with regard to the required
application task and to understand the importance of a comprehensive
design analysis in order to achieve a successful solution.
