Mechanical Design 05.02.16

(Norsk)

This lecture we talked about weld strength versus fatigue from dynamic loads, and drew a Smith diagram. We calculated an example, and then moved on to the next chapter, looking at threaded connections with a short introduction to threads and thread types.

• The recommended problems can be found here.
• The suggested solutions for last lecture's recommended problems can be found here.

This lecture we talked about welds subjected to bending and did the calculations for one example.

• Lecture notes can be found here.
• Recommended problems can be found here.

Mechanical Design 25.01.16

(Norsk)
This lecture we continued on fillet welds and calculated a few more examples. Since we did not cover any new subjects this lecture, there is no new recommended problems.

(Norsk)
Another lecture done yesterday, we talked about welds and did some calculations on fillet welds.

• The lecture notes can be found here
• The recommended problems here
• And my suggestions for solving the problems given after the previous lecture here.

First lecture in Mechanical Design

Yesterday I held my first lecture in Mechanical Design. We talked about designing in general, strength calculations, safety factors and did an example calculation. I also got time to introduce the next chapter we will be working on, which is welded connections. We will continue with those on Friday this week.

The lecture notes can be found here (in Norwegian). And the recommended problems can be found here (in Norwegian).

I have also held a few lectures in Thermodynamics, but I will be "saving up" lecture notes there until I can post complete chapters.

Lecturing at Stord/Haugesund University College

This semester I will be lecturing in the courses Mechanical Design (in Norwegian) and Thermodynamics (in English) and intend to post the material I create for the students here (lecture notes, exercise solutions, etc.) at a leisurely pace during the semester. You will find everything under the Education banner.

I've put in my planned schedule at Stord/Haugesund University College here, so that my students know when/where to find me:
