Basic classification of gasketed flange joints.
6.Shaft–hub connections – classification and applications, shape and force joints.
7.Basic calculations of welded joints – static analysis of butt welds and fillet welds.
8.Strength calculations of riveted and adhesive joints.
9.Pins and shafts – static strength calculations.
10.Rolling and plain bearings – basic calculations, mounting arrangements, lubrication, sealing.
11.Transmissions – chain drives, belt drives, and gear drives – basic dimensions and design calculations.
12.Fundamentals of gear design calculations – tooth profile modifications, tooth sliding ratio, efficiency, force transmission.
13.Introduction to mechanisms used in engineering practice and drive system design.
