MATRICULATION ENGLISH EXPRESSION
The development of clear, correct English and critical thinking, and the
cultivation of a wider, deeper view of life through reading carefully
selected texts.
MECHANICAL DESIGN I
Theories of ~tatlc failure, stress concentration, fatigue, notch sensitivity,
eccentrically loaded joints, preloaded bolted joints, shafts of noncircular
cross section, shafts and keys, couplings, selection of straight spur
and bevel gears, selection of plain journal, ball and roller bearings, shrink
fits, screwed connections.
Application of these and other design principles to the achievement of
functional designs.
MECHANICAL DESIGN I1
Topics to be selected from:
Feasibility studies and systems analysis. Strain energy methods. Design
in timber, reinforced concrete. Elementary structures. Experimental
stress analysis. Computerization for optimum design. Tolel-ancing and
design for assembly. Torsion in non-circular members. Simple plasticity.
Factors of safety. Further machine elements; br~~kesc,l utches, power
screws. Buckling of thin members. Functional creativity.
