Learning outcomes
The outcomes of the course are to provide the basic knowledge, the methods and the tools useful for the correct definition of the mechanical design activities. At the end of the course the students will be able to reproduce the representation of a simple mechanical system, to define the relationship between the elements, to calculate the constraints, to draw the stress diagrams and to compute the maximum tensile state of the components. Furthermore they will be able to verify the fatigue life of simple mechanical components and to calculate the strength of some basic bolted and welted structures. Finally they will be able to select the most appropriate rolling bearings to be positioned as constraints of shafts, pins and axes.

Teaching methods
The lectures concern the fundamentals problems of the mechanical design of products and systems. The practising are collective and concern the application and practical solutions of theoretical problems proposed during the lectures.
Assessment methods
After a written part the exam is oral, based on the discussion of homeworks.
