Learning outcomes
Upon completion of this module, the student can:
- apply the machinery directive in the process of designing a safe machine. Moreover, the student understands the various subjects of the directive and knows how/where to use them
- perform a risk-analysis on a machine (FMEA)
- indicate which design principles are to be used during the design of a construction based on stiffness and make a substantiated choice of the optimum shape of the construction in a given situation
- specify a number of machine parts (brakes, clutches, gears, etc.) based on applicable demands and by comparing different options provided by suppliers
- provide and solve equations for impulse and momentum in a practical situation
- make calculations for a practical problem about dynamic imbalance or gyroscopic moment
- size machine parts and sub-assemblies based on strength and stiffness calculations using FEM-software and based on worst case scenarios encountered during the actual application of the machine. The design calculations are properly validated and documented
Content
In this 5 EC module, an existing machine is used as a means to study a number of subjects. ‘Guide to application of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC’ is used to analyse the machine. Moreover, a risk-analysis (FMEA) is performed to show all current problems, malfunctions and/or hazards of the existing machine. A number of engineering skills are used, such as selection of machine parts (brakes, clutches, gears, etc.), determining the applicable load cases in a dynamic situation and strength/strain calculations for machine parts and sub-assemblies using FEM-software in the worst case situation.
