<p>This subject introduces the fundamentals of mechanical design and analysis techniques (design procedure, design analysis including hand calculations, finite element analysis including fatigue and failure investigations, application of Australian and International standards).  It also introduces the fundamental properties of bulk solids and the basic design principles of common bulk solids handling equipment (including design of bins, feeders, gravity flow of bulk solids, and various conveyors).  Students will apply these fundamentals of mechanical design and analysis techniques and the basic design principles within the design of real world mechanical systems.</p>

ME3525 - Mechanical Design and Bulk Materials Handling

Analyse fundamental properties of bulk solids and apply the basic design principles of common bulk solids handling equipment

Develop practical experience using commercial engineering solid modeling and drawing packages to create, analyse, evolve and effectively communicate design specifications, particularly for manufacture

Implement effective written skills to formally report the design process, analysis and outcomes achieved

Analyse all specific factors affecting the design task at hand and identify and implement any and all appropriate standards and rules available, incorporating these as key elements in design process

Systematically implement engineering design techniques to a real world mechanical design project, incorporating preliminary and detailed design phases and advanced engineering analysis
