Machine Design Part I

“Machine Design Part I” is the first course in an in-depth three course series of “Machine Design.” The “Machine Design” Coursera series covers fundamental mechanical design topics, such as static and fatigue failure theories, the analysis of shafts, fasteners, and gears, and the design of mechanical systems such as gearboxes. Throughout this series of courses we will examine a number of exciting design case studies, including the material selection of a total hip implant, the design and testing of the wing on the 777 aircraft, and the impact of dynamic loads on the design of an bolted pressure vessel. In this first course, you will learn robust analysis techniques to predict and validate design performance and life. We will start by reviewing critical material properties in design, such as stress, strength, and the coefficient of thermal expansion. We then transition into static failure theories such as von Mises theory, which can be utilized to prevent failure in static loading applications such as the beams in bridges. Finally, we will learn fatigue failure criteria for designs with dynamic loads, such as the input shaft in the transmission of a car.

What people are saying

looking forward

I am looking forward to MD Part II.

it helped me understand some critical factors i need to consider in the mechanical engineering field as far as design of a component is concern.Looking forward to do more courses in Coursera to increase my knowledge.

looking forward to enroll in further courses to offer .THANK YOU Exceptional course material along with an outstanding teacher..

Looking forward for parts 2 and 3.

Looking forward to the following courses The course material was pretty good and the course was quite challenging.

Great course, looking forward to Part II and III.

Looking forward to Parts II, III, etc A good introductory course to gain an appreciation of some of the theory and techniques that goes into designing mechanical systems in our modern world.

And for everyone looking forward to this course, I would say definitely do it, it would not take much of your time and the skills you would acquire are must for knowledge prospect.

I am looking forward to enroll the next course of the series.

machine design part

Looking forward to Machine Design Part 2 and 3 Its a very good course , a lot of things to learn Clear and useful, I enjoyed it!

<3 The Machine Design Part I covers a huge amount of basic concepts/theories in a short time.It was very useful to get a clear understanding of engineering design.

It was a very good course.Main thing is that it can be improved by going through the derivations of the various theory in order to understand its applications and limitations better.I hope to take part in Machine Design Part 2 Very Gooooood A excellent course for any mechanical or production student.Thank you so much Coursera and Prof. Wingate !!

Excited to see the follow-up courses of Machine Design (Part-II, etc) Enjoyable course, have to apply the fundamentals while solving problems and the instructor given the real world example of the failures and looking waiting for Machine Design part 2 and part 3.

(I left one star because i felt content wasn't enough) Something learn to machine design part 1 Thank you Dr Kathryn and Georgia institute for this amizing cours, i enjoyed the journey of learning with Dr Kathryn, i had many new informations and techniques about machine design, i'm waiting for the second part.

Awaiting for Machine Design part 2. very informative but hard An excellent course specially for the mechanical engineering students who wish to pursue their careers in the design field.Very important domain is covered in this course which is very important to know properly when ever an engineer want to design a new component or study any kind of failure in his design.

Hope I can see you later on the Machine Design Part II.

Good For BEGINNERS it was a great learning experience for me attending machine design part-1 course here on coursera.it's a great platform to learning.

static and fatigue

Just the Discussion forum was a bit biased and the questions where somehow not understood Amazing course, I learned a lot, my basics in mechanics of materials was honed, and I got to learn new failure theories, static and fatigue.

looking forward for next parts The course present a good explanation of the fundamentals of design in static and fatigue failure.

Course provides a good refreshment about static and fatigue failures.

This course was good, I enjoyed learning topics like Number designation of metals, Static and Fatigue Failure and their theories, Stress concentration Factors, Endurance, Life of Rotation of parts.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and I would like to recommend this course to my fellow mates I'm giving 4 stars based on this course specifically, matter will different if considered never coming part 2. this course did not include any machine elements but was very good with failure classes both static and fatigue.

Over all an excellent experience it was really nice and helping It was a great course to know about Static and Fatigue loading and failures.

case studies

Excellent teaching and use of examples and real-world problems/case studies.Waiting for the other part 2 and 3 Great for brushing up and solidifying the basics of machine design.

The case studies really helped in making life easier as it helped to understand the subject better.Thank you!!

The case studies brought a really new insight on the "out of the box" thinking.

Very Good course that concentrates on the key concepts with some case studies that are very interesting.

Very nice introductory course in Machine design, the two case studies chosen is very informative.

Course content was good but found instructors presence in discussion forum somewhat lacking.Questions asked in the forum remain unanswered more so related to case studies.Coursera certificate design is also sub par with the instructor’s signature barely legible(only artifacts) and no watermark.Would request Georgia Inst.

my sincere and heartful thanks to Dr.Kathryn Wingate and coursera.MS wingate no one has taught me like you, especially the case studies.

if i should give feed back to you it would take more than a page to give my respects and it would be more than 5 star ratings .by means if you read the comment i would be grateful if you share any research papers or articles or case studies related to machine design and its fields.my mail id is "[email protected]: India The course is very organized.

Some points in slides were just skipped or explained with out any examples the course is well made and presented, the questions can be harder but its great for revising the fundamentals.please add more parts and make it as a specialization.i loved the case studies a lot.loved the way professor Wingate taught the course.

The case studies were very much useful for better understanding of the concepts.

dr. kathryn wingate

Dr. Kathryn Wingate used a clear language and I appreciate her.

Dr. Kathryn Wingate was very persuasive throughout the course and the way she taught is completely commendable.

very good Dr. Kathryn Wingate provides a thorough explanation.

it was a nice experince learning with Dr. Kathryn Wingate.

good explain skill Perfect please i can't wait for Part 2 Excellent!, waiting for the part two Dr. Kathryn Wingate, is a great teacher, the course was amazing it helped me building concept & clearly understanding them, Quiz & Worksheet helped me in revision & deep understanding.I would like to thank Dr. Kathryn Wingate & Coursera team.Thanks.

georgia tech

i am eagerly waiting for MD part 2 and other course from Georgia Tech.

Thank you:) This course of machine design from Georgia Tech is a nice combination of revising the concepts of material properties, design and temperature considerations, design theories for static and dynamic loading situations for a safe design.

Thanks Georgia Tech for providing such a course and thanks to Dr. Kathryn for making it simple and interesting to learn.

The lecture videos were very clear and concise and all the material was well explained.Negatives - There did seem to be some errors (in my opinion) in some of the combined stress questions (or at the very least some bad explanation / errors in the solutions documents which seemed to be contrary to what was taught in Georgia Tech's Mechanics of Materials IV course on coursera).
