Aim
This unit will deepen learners knowledge of the principles and techniques used in the design of
machine elements.
Unit abstract
This unit will develop learners understanding of the parameters and characteristics of
mechanical systems. Learning outcome 1 is concerned with the characteristics of a wider range
of power transmission elements. Learning outcome 2 will introduce learners to an in-depth
analysis of some common mechanical systems using both analytical and graphical techniques.
Learning outcome 3 is concerned with mechanical vibrations and in particular the transient and
steady-state response of mass-spring systems to disturbing forces.
Learning outcomes
Be able to determine the kinetic and dynamic parameters of power transmission system
elements
Be able to determine the behavioural characteristics of translational and rotational massspring systems.
