Creative Subject

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kanazawa Institute of Technology has offered a creative mechanical designing and drawing subject, entitled “Machine Design Project (MDP)”, to third year students. It is well known that it is difficult to perform a scholastic evaluation for a creative subject. Moreover, the instructors’ loads are large owing to the large quantity of reports from students. In such a background, we have carried out course improvement activities of the MDP from 2005. The improvement activities and its effects and problems are examined, and the considerations based on the questionnaire results are reported in this paper.

Speed Reducer

Cycloidal motions have many applications in mechanical engineering. The multi-lobed epicycloid has sharply pointed cusps; therefore, a machine element performing an epicyclic motion can be utilized for performing operations requiring a corresponding action, like folding of flexible materials or feeding of components from a stack. A speed reducer, distinguished by extreme compactness, is based on the use of an epitrochoidal cam. Linkages which perform approximately straight-line motions can be designed so that they approximate the motion of the center of the generating circle of an orthocycloid.

The A. Leon Linton Department of Mechanical Engineering at Lawrence Technological University offered a new senior capstone project to a small group of students, funded by a teaching grant from the National Fluid Power Association. All mechanical engineering students at Lawrence Tech must complete a capstone project: either an SAE competition team or a project addressing a particular industry need. The team that worked on the current project consisted of students with various concentrations in mechanical engineering and included an international visiting student from Brazil. Three faculty in Mechanical Engineering, each with different areas of expertise: thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and mechatronics, mentored and worked closely with the students at every step of this project. The objective of this project was to design and fabricate a classroom-scale gantry crane for material handling. The undergraduate students were not only involved in the design of a fluid powered system, but also worked on the modeling of mechanical components and the mechanical system as well as circuit design for an operator interface. The self-guided and real-world design aspect of the project increases the effectiveness of teaching by the faculty and retention of the subject by the students involved in the project.

Abstract This article is dedicated to the fields of mechanical engineering and machine design. It also intends to give a nonexhaustive view of the preventive side of the failure analysis of rolling-element bearings (REBs) and of some of the developments in terms of materials and surface engineering. The article presents the nomenclature, numbering systems, and worldwide market of REBs as well as provides description of REBs as high-tech machine components. It discusses heat treatments, performance, and properties of bearing materials. The processes involved in the examination of failed bearings are also explained. Finally, the article discusses in detail the characteristics and prevention of the various types of failures of REBs: wear, fretting, corrosion, plastic flow, rolling-contact fatigue, and damage. The article includes an Appendix, which lists REB-related abbreviations, association websites, and ISO standards.

Effective Design

Engineering educators face a heavy responsibility in equipping young engineers for today's competitive world. The industries that will employ them will only survive if the people working in them are able to make and follow sound decisions. The basis for these decisions, among other things, must be an effective design process. The challenge of educating students to become worthy design engineers is being met at the Mechanical Engineering Department, at BGU, Israel, and the purpose of this article is to describe how it is done.
