Academic Year 2015/2016

  • Moduli: Leonardo Frizziero (Modulo 1) Leonardo Frizziero (Modulo 2)
  • Teaching Mode: In-person learning (entirely or partially) (Modulo 1); In-person learning (entirely or partially) (Modulo 2)
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: First cycle degree programme (L) in Mechanical Engineering (cod. 0927)

Learning outcomes

The student learns the rules for the interpretation and the execution of technical drawings with CAD and conventional methods of representation; is able to correlate form, function and manufacturing processes for the main functional elements of machines and plants.

Course contents

Mechanical Design applications consist of exercises which are held by hand or using CAD.
The exercises will follow the programme carried out in the course of theory and will cover the topics listed below:

Geometrical construction

The Orthogonal projection method

The theory of Sections

True Form Of Flat Surfaces

Interpenetrating Solid

Axonometric projections Orthogonal and Oblique

Dimensioning

The different types of Drawing

Tolerances, surface roughness

Connections

Joints and Guides

Sealing organs

Mechanical Transmission

Readings/Bibliography

  • Disegno Meccanico, Manfè, Pozza, Scarato, Principato Editore, 3 volumi.
  • Disegno Tecnico Industriale, Chirone, Tornincasa, Edizioni Il Capitello.
  • Disegno, Progettazione e Organizzazione Industriale, Straneo, Consorti, Principato Editore.
  • Slides and booklets about lessons, available at the portal AMS Campus in the specific section of the course.

    • Teaching methods

    The exercises are held in the classroom and follow the program discussed in the theoretical course and guide the student in the drafting of part drawings and assembly drawings.
    The exercises can be performed by hand or with CAD.
    For CAD, the software used are two. In the first part of the course is used AUTCAD, for the only two-dimensional drawings.
    In the second part of the course solid modelling is introduced by CREO PARAMETRIC.
    All exercises produced during the course are presented and discussed at the oral exam.

    Assessment methods

    The exam consists of a written test (the outcome of which affects the access to the oral test) and of an oral test.
