Detailed description
of topics:
Application of
design methodology to a specific case of conceptual design (functional
analysis, morphological matrix, multicriteria analysis). Calculations of
mechanical power for typical motion (cycle with start, stationary motion,
stop), like in driving, hoisting, rolling and belt transport. Selection of
driving motor and transmission. Soft start and controlled braking. Overview
of typical equipment like cranes, stackers. Working cycle, working area,
displacement functions (drive, slew, extend). Cable loop systems: examples
and typical aspects like mechanical efficiency, wear and safety. Crane
components like grabs and spreaders: typical aspects like open/close motions,
force analysis, position accuracy. Application of kinematics and dynamics in
transport equipment: transfer of non-uniform motion, degree of freedom,
instantaneous center of rotation, kinematic transfer functions, transfer
quality (pressure angle), force analysis using virtual work principle. Timed
motion with start-stop behaviour. Static balancing regarding support forces
and driving force. Dynamic effects like slip and rest vibration after a stop
or a collision. Demonstration of tools for motion and force analysis.
Dimensioning of the whole structure using standards (load combination, group
factor). Machine directives (CE-marking) and tender documents. Dimensioning
of typical large stuctures such as lattices. Examples of welded connections. Demonstration of
analysis tools for stress, deformation, fatigue. |

Remarks assessment,
entry requirements, etc.:
To participate
in the project, that is the basis for the assessment, it is strongly recommended
to be present during the lecture hours. |
||
|
Learning goals:
To obtain
general insight in designing transport equipment, both in its fundamental
(conceptual) aspects and in the characteristic construction details, aiming
to early estimate the technical feasibility of transport equipment. |

Computer use: |

|
Design content:
Participants
work in groups to make a (conceptual) design of a case, that will be
introduced in the first lecture hour. The teachers use the case as much as
possible to make the theory clear. At the end of the course the groups
present and defend their concept in the lecture room. A report containing
design calculations and offering tender documents has to be submitted as
well. |
